Background summary
the aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a eccentric exercise program compared to a conventional exercise progrma in patients with primary subacromial impingement. This is a radomized, single blinded, clinical trial and 33 participants have been enrolled. The primary outcomes are the Constant Murley score and pain ( VAS).
Study objective
The aim of this study is to investigate wether a eccentric exercise program is more effective in patients with primary subacromial impingement compared to a conventional exercise program.
Several studies about the effect of eccentric training in tendinopathies have been published and there is still uncertainty about the effectiveness of this specific training regimen and wether it is more effective than conventional rehabilitation exercises.
