Forty-six patients were assigned to 1 of 2 groups, both groups receiving a 4-week intervention. The intervention for one group consisted of stretching and strengthening exercises. The other group received the same intervention supplemented by MT targeting the shoulder and cervical spine.
(…)
All outcomes were measured pre- and post-intervention at 4 weeks. Outcome measures consisted of: scapular kinematics in the scapular and sagittal planes during arm elevation, pain assessed with a visual analogue scale, mechanical sensitivity assessed with pressure pain threshold, and function as determined through the DASH questionnaire ».
