STUDY DESIGN A prospective randomized clinical trial. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of 2 physical therapy treatment approaches for impingement syndrome of the shoulder.

METHODS AND MEASURES Thirty men and 22 women (age...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between acromiohumeral distan...
