Shoulder impingement muscle activity study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain muscles work in people with shoulder impingement (a common cause of shoulder pain). It uses a test called electromyography to measure muscle activity, which can help guide better physical therapy.

This study compares two different shoulder-strengthening exercises for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a condition where shoulder structures get pinched) combined with scapular dyskinesia (abnormal shoulder blade movement). The goal is to see which exercise works better to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
This study uses dynamic ultrasound (moving ultrasound) to look at shoulder impingement, a common cause of shoulder pain. It may help doctors diagnose and understand your condition better without invasive procedures.
This study tests whether lower body exercises (like walking or leg presses) can help reduce shoulder pain from impingement. It's for people with shoulder pain that has lasted more than 6 weeks and who have not had surgery or a major injury.
This study tests whether combining mental movement training with targeted exercises can reduce shoulder pain caused by impingement syndrome. It aims to improve your shoulder function without surgery.
This trial studies how shoulder impingement (pain when lifting the arm) relates to neck position sense. It may help find better treatments for your shoulder pain.
This study tests two non-surgical treatments for shoulder pain caused by shoulder impingement. Both treatments use hand-held tools to ease pain and improve movement.
