Background & purpose: Shoulder disorders are among the most common of all peripheral joint complaints1,2, with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome considered to be one of the most common forms of shoulder pathology3, accounting for 44% to 60% of all complaints of shoulder pain during arm elevation or overhead activities4. Researches for Subacromial Impingement Syndrome due to Scapular Dyskinesis show that scapular stabilization exercises provide good results39. On the other hand one of the study shows that effect of changing posture by taping will reduce the symptoms of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome41. So the study is to compare the effectiveness of Scapular Stabilization Exercises and Taping in improving shoulder pain & disability index in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome due to Scapular Dyskinesis.

Objective: To check the effect of Scapular Stabilization Exercises and Taping in improving shoulder pain & disability index in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome due to Scapular dyskinesis.

Method: A total of 60 patients were taken for the study. All subjects were diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome due to Scapular Dyskinesis. The purpose of the study was explained to all the subjects and informed consent was taken from each subject. All subjects were randomly assigned to either Scapular Stabilization Exercises group (Group A) and Taping group (Group B). The base line data of SPADI was obtained to check for the pain functional outcome. SPADI was later taken at the end of the treatment after 6 weeks on follow up.

Study design: Experimental design

Sampling technique: Purposive sampling technique

Outcome measure: Spadi Score Measurement

Result: Results show that Scapular Stabilization Exercises showed a significant improvement Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI sub scores and total scores), when compared to Taping in individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.

Conclusion: Scapular Stabilization Exercises showed a significant improvement Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI sub scores and total scores), when compared to Taping in individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.
