Overview

Randomized trial compares PNF and JM effects on shoulder function and pain in shoulder impingement syndrome, suggesting distinct benefits.

Key Points

  • This study explores the effectiveness of PNF versus JM on shoulder function and pain in patients with SIS.
  • Thirty patients with SIS were randomly assigned to PNF (n=15) or JM (n=15) for 6 weeks.
  • Both groups received conventional rehabilitation and additional PNF or JM techniques, 3 times a week.
  • Shoulder function, AHD, and PPT were assessed using standardized measures.
  • PNF group showed significant improvements in SPADI (p < 0.05) and PPT (p < 0.05), indicating better functional recovery.
  • JM group had greater increases in AHD, suggesting improved structural restoration in the shoulder.
  • Significant interactions for SPADI and PPT highlight distinct benefits from each intervention.
