Prior systematic reviews of rehabilitation for nondescript shoulder pain have not yielded clinically applicable results for those patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS. [] Key Method The authors used data source as the method. The computerized bibliographic databases of Medline, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched from 1966 up to and including October 2003.
Clinical outcomes of exercise in the management of subacromial impingement syndrome: a systematic review
TLDR
There is a need for further well-defined clinical trials on specific exercise interventions for the treatment of shoulder dysfunction including subacromial impingement syndrome.
Effects of physiotherapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome: a systematic review of the literature.
TLDR
This review shows an equal effectiveness of physiotherapist-led exercises and surgery compared with surgery in the long term and of home-based exercises compared with combined physiotherapy interventions in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome in the short and long term.
Effect of isokinetic training on shoulder impingement.
TLDR
There was not enough evidence to support or refute the effectiveness of isokinetic training for SIS, and a consensus definition of the different types and stages of SIS is urgently needed.
Manual therapy and exercise for impingementrelated shoulder pain
TLDR
The included research provides limited evidence to support the use of manual therapy and exercise interventions for shoulder impingement, but varying methodological quality and risk of bias in reviews and trials warrant caution in the interpretation of the results.
Exercise and manual therapy for the treatment of impingement syndrome of the shoulder: a systematic review
TLDR
There is moderate evidence that supports the use of therapeutic exercises alone in reducing pain and function, whereas there is limited evidence to support the effectiveness of both manual and exercise therapy in combination.
Taping patients with clinical signs of subacromial impingement syndrome: the design of a randomized controlled trial
TLDR
This pragmatic study will provide information about the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of taping in patients presenting with clinical signs of subacromial impingement syndrome of the shoulder in a primary healthcare setting.

Therapeutic Exercise and Orthopedic Manual Therapy for Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review
TLDR
There is limited evidence to support the efficacy of therapeutic exercise and manual therapy to treat impingement syndrome, and more methodologically sound studies are needed to further evaluate these interventions.
Physiotherapy for patients with soft tissue shoulder disorders: a systematic review of randomised clinical trials
TLDR
Evidence is insufficient to support the effectiveness of low level laser therapy, heat treatment, cold therapy, electrotherapy, exercise, and mobilisation in such patients, and future studies should show whether physiotherapy is superior to treatment with drugs, steroid injections, or a wait and see policy.
Physiotherapy for patients with soft tissue shoulder disorders: a systematic review of randomised clinical trials
TLDR
There is evidence that ultrasound therapy is ineffective in the treatment of soft tissue shoulder disorders and evidence for the effectiveness of other methods of physiotherapy is inconclusive, due to small trial sizes and unsatisfactory methods.
Physiotherapy interventions for shoulder pain.
The subacromial impingement syndrome. A study of results of treatment with special emphasis on predictive factors and pain-generating mechanisms.
TLDR
The hypothesis that pain in the impingement syndrome is mainly elicited by comparison of the subacromial bursa is advanced, and two standardized, composite, active movements are found--the "Pour out of a Pot" manoeuvre requiring the emptying of a pot of water, and the "Hand in Neck", to be of predictive value for the outcome of surgery.
Arthroscopic surgery compared with supervised exercises in patients with rotator cuff disease (stage II impingement syndrome)
TLDR
Surgery or a supervised exercise regimen significantly, and equally, improved rotator cuff disease compared with placebo in both groups given the active treatments.
The effect of joint mobilization as a component of comprehensive treatment for primary shoulder impingement syndrome.

TLDR
Mobilization decreased 24-hour pain and pain with subacromial compression test in patients with primary shoulder impingement syndrome, but larger replication studies are needed to assess more clearly mobilization's influence on motion and function.
Current Concepts Review - Subacromial Impingement Syndrome*
TLDR
It is important to differentiate subacromial impingement syndrome from other conditions that may cause symptoms in the shoulder, such as glenohumeral instability, cervical radiculitis, calcific tendinitis, adhesive capsulitis), degenerative joint disease, isolated acromioclavicular osteoarthrosis, and nerve compression.
Subacromial impingement: influence of coracoacromial arch geometry on shoulder function.
TLDR
Coracoacromial arch geometry is correlated with shoulder function syndrome and can assist in the interpretation of rotator cuff impingement and was significantly influenced by the orientation of the acromion with respect to theScapular spine and to the vertical scapular axis.
