Abstract

the subacromial impingement syndrome (sIs) is a terminology that overshadows the real dysfunction and pain in the shoulder. the role of physiotherapist in the evaluation and treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome of the shoulder is critical. We searched the following electronic databases “pubMed, pEDro, physical therapy, MEDlInE and science Direct”. the studies of the present review were examined regarding the way of evaluation conduction and treatment on patients suffering from subacromial impingement of the shoulder. In this review, the role of physiotherapist was important both to the assessment and syndrome treatment. there was an improvement on patients with subacromial impingement of the shoulder through the proper assessment and treatment. the sufficient differential diagnosis through clinical evaluation signifies the most effective treatment on patients suffering from subacromial impingement syndrome.
