Abstract
Background: Shoulder impingement syndrome is the most common disorder of the shoulder, resulting in functional loss and disability. Objective: This study was designed to compare between the effects of scapular muscle training (Cool’s exercises) versus rhythmic stabilization exercises in treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome. RESULTS: Both groups showed improvement in all measured variables, but group (A) showed more improvement in UT/SA ratio than group (B), while group (B) showed more improvement in the ER/IR ratio than group (A). CONCLUSION: Both of rhythmic stabilization exercises and scapular muscle training are effective interventions to reduce shoulder pain severity, shoulder functional disability, scapular protraction, UT/SA ratio and increase scapular upward rotation and ER/ IR ratio
