NCT ID NCT07484360
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether kinetic chain exercises—movements that engage the whole body's muscle chain—can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Thirty-six adults aged 30 to 50 with shoulder pain were split into two groups: one did kinetic chain exercises, the other did standard physical therapy. Researchers measured pain, range of motion, and disability to see which approach works better.
