Subacute Effects of Cervicothoracic Spinal Manipulation in Addition to Shoulder Manual Therapy Plus Exercise Intervention in Individuals With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: a Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial Pilot Study
Specific Aims and Hypotheses Aims To investigate the incremental benefits of cervicothoracic
spinal manipulation in addition to shoulder mobilization and exercise for improving range of
motion, pain, physical function and fear avoidance beliefs in patients with subacromial
shoulder impingement.
Hypotheses It is hypothesized that those subjects who receive spinal manipulation in
addition to shoulder mobilization and exercise will achieve greater improvements in range of
motion, pain, function and fear avoidance beliefs at two weeks following treatment
conclusion, at 4 weeks following treatment conclusion, and at discharge when compared to the
subjects who did not receive the spinal manipulation.
