Abstract
Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding the core stability exercises program to the conventional physical therapy program on the acromiohumeral distance in patients with SIS. Material and methods. Thirty male and female patients were diagnosed as SIS, their age ranged between 25-50 years were participated in this study. They would be randomly distributed into two equal experimental groups. Patients in the group (A): Received conventional physical therapy program. (B): Received the core stability exercises combined with conventional physical therapy program. Patients were received 12 sessions over four weeks, three sessions per week. The acromiohumeral distance was measured with 0 degree, 45 degrees’ abduction. Results. Statistical analysis revealed that there was significant increase the acromiohumeral distance at rest with (0° shoulder abduction) in favor of group (B) in compared to group (A). In spite of there was no statistical significant difference in the acromiohumeral distance at rest with (45° shoulder abduction) between group, there was clinical difference and high percent of improvement in favor to group B. Conclusion: Core stability exercises combined with conventional physical therapy program yield improvement in the AHD distance at rest with (zero shoulder abduction) than conventional physical therapy program.
