This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Effect of specific exercise strategy on need for surgery in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome: randomised controlled study
BMJ. 2012 Feb 20;344:e787. doi: 10.1136/bmj.e787Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. T Holmgren discusses exercise strategies for patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
102 patients were randomized to examine the effectiveness of specific exercises in treating subacromial impingement syndrome and preventing the need for surgical intervention. Patients received either a specific exercise strategy (which targeted the rotator cuff and scapula stabilisers) or unspecific movement exercises for the neck and shoulder (control). Results at 12 weeks revealed that significantly more patients in the specific exercise group reported better shoulder function and pain scores than those in the control exercise group.
