Phase 4 Effects of a Stretching Protocol for the Pectoralis Minor Muscle on This Resting Length and on the 3D Kinematics of the Scapula During Arm Flexion in Asymptomatic Subjects and Patients With Impingement Syndrome
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Stretching-Asymptomatic subjects and Stretching-Subjects with shoulder pain for Shoulder Pain. Completed, enrolled 97 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of a stretching protocol for the pectoralis minor muscle on its resting length and on the 3D kinematics of the scapula during arm flexion in asymptomatic subjects and patients with impingement syndrome with shortened pectoralis minor.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The stretching will be performed with the subject standing, with 90° of arm abduction and 90° of elbow flexion and palm on a flat planar surface. The subject then will place the leg opposite to the flat surface in front of the other with slight knee flexion and tilt the trunk forward like a rigid block and rotate it slightly increasing the horizontal abduction at the shoulder. This procedure will be done 4 times for 1 min and 30s interval between repetitions.
