ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding a condition called scapular dyskinesis, which is when the shoulder blade doesn’t move correctly. This issue can be related to shoulder impingement syndrome, a common problem where shoulder movements cause pain. The main goal of the study is to identify scapular dyskinesis in patients who have shoulder impingement, so that they can receive the right exercises and treatments to help them recover better.

To participate in this study, you should be at least 20 years old and diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome based on your symptoms and MRI results. If you haven't had surgery or specific injections for your shoulder, and you're willing to give informed consent, you may be eligible. Participants will undergo various screening tests to help diagnose scapular dyskinesis and will receive tailored rehabilitation exercises. This trial is not yet recruiting, but it aims to improve treatment outcomes for individuals suffering from shoulder issues.
