Abstract

Introduction: Shoulder impingement Syndrome is the most common cause of pain, disability and motor function in the shoulder area. The aim of the present study was to evaluate 6 weeks of Powerball resistance training with PNF pattern.
Materials and Methods: To conduct the present quasi-experimental study, 20 women with shoulder impingement syndrome aged 20-50 years were purposefully selected and randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Electrotherapy and hot compresses were applied. The Experimental group received Powerball resistance training with PNF pattern. The control group performed their daily tasks. Visual analog scale pain (VAS shoulder disability status with arm, shoulder and hand disability questionnaire (DASH)), shoulder joint function with joint test (SST) and Morley measurement scale (CMS) before and after six weeks. Treatment was evaluated.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference in the experimental group in pre-test and post-test in the evaluation of pain, disability and shoulder joint function (P <0.05). But this is the difference There is a shoulder (P <0.05). However, this difference was not observed in the control group and also the results of analysis of covariance showed that there was a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups in the post-test to compare the amount of pain, disability and shoulder joint function (P <0.05).
Conclusion: The significant effect of Powerball resistance training with PNF pattern on pain, disability and shoulder joint function can confirm the importance of exercise therapy in the treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome
