Detailed Description
Rotator cuff disorders are considered to be among the most common causes of shoulder pain and disability encountered in both primary and secondary care, with subacromial impingement syndrome in particular being the most common disorder, resulting in functional loss and disability, of the shoulder.
There is a lack of literature about virtual reality exergaming in subjects with orthopedic problems.
To reduce UL impairment, new therapeutic approaches, such as constraint-induced movement therapy, robotic arm training, and virtual reality therapy (VRT), have been successfully employed over the last decade.
Kinesio taping is the increasingly popular method for preventing and treating sports injuries. The tape helps to maintain the joint position, increases the proprioceptive awareness, and assists in removal of exudates thereby reducing pain and improves the muscle function.
So as there is lag in literature regarding the best type of treatment for patients with chronic impingement syndrome so this study will be conducted to compare between kinesiotaping and virtual reality and to determine the best treatment for patients with chronic Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Kinsiotaping
patients who received kinesiotaping plus conventional treatment for chronic shoulder impingement syndrome.
|
Patients received the kinesiotaping over supraspinatus muscle and deltoid muscle, tape will be removed every three days and subjects will return back to the clinic to reapplication of tape again.
Patients received the same therapeutic treatment 3 times/ week for four weeks.
KT is air permeable and water resistant, allowing it to stay in place for three to five days.
patients received conventional treatment for chronic shoulder impingement syndrome only.
|
Experimental: Virtual Reality training
patients who received VR training plus conventional treatment for chronic shoulder impingement syndrome.
|
patients received conventional treatment for chronic shoulder impingement syndrome only.
Virtual Rehab utilizes the unique characteristics of Microsoft Kinects motion technology to track and capture the movements of the patients so that patients become immersed in a 3D environment where they interact with the game.
Subjects will include in a supervised virtual reality exergaming program for shoulder movements for 4 weeks, 3 days per week and 10 minutes for session.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Assessing the change in musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs
Time Frame: at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Assessment by using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH). The DASH is a 30-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs. Scoring the DASH 30-item disability/symptom section: 1) Item responses range from 1 (e.g. no difficulty, not at all, not limited, none, strongly disagree) to 5 (e.g. unable, extremely, unable, strongly agree). Scoring the optional 2 4-item high performance sections: 1) Add values of each response, then divide by 4, subtract 1 and multiply by 25: [((sum of values/4) - 1)*25]. 2) Optional modules should not be scored if items are missing. Arabic version of DASH questionnaire will be used, Which is reliable and valid to be used for evaluating upper extremity work related injuries. |
at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Assessing the change in pain intensity
Time Frame: at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Assessment by using visual analouge scale (VAS).
It was used to assess the intensity of pain.
Operationally a VAS is usually a horizontal line, l00 mm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end.
The patient marks on the line the point that they feel represents their perception of their current state.
The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimeters from the left hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks.

at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Assessing the change in shoulder range of motion
Time Frame: at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Assessment by using Electro goniometer.
It was used to measure shoulder ROM (flexion, abduction, internal rotation).
|
at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Assessing the change in muscle activity of Supraspinatus muscle
Time Frame: at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Assessment by using Electromyogram (EMG).
It was used to measure muscle activity of Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, anterior and middle deltoid.
|
at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
