Synopsis
46 patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) were randomized to undergo exercise alone or in combination with manual therapy in order to investigate the effects of additive manual therapy on scapular kinematics, pain, and function. Scapular mechanics and functional outcomes were largely unaffected by the interventions, however pain outcomes were affected differently by both treatments. Exe...
