Abstract

Among shoulder injuries, shoulder impingement syndrome is known as the most common injury and it causes pain and limits the shoulder’s function. The current research is semi-experimental and applied. The statistical population of this research includes male swimmers with shoulder impingement syndrome (male swimmers in the age range of 19 to 31 years). Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria samples from the research, 30 eligible athletes were selected purposefully and randomly divided into two groups of slide board exercises (15 people) and control (15 people). Before and after the training period, motor performance, pain, balance, muscle strength, ROM of the shoulder joint and the level of quality of life the subjects were measured respectively by CKCUEST for upper limb, VAS, sited Y balance test, digital dynamometer, goniometer. and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire were evaluated. Subjects of the experimental group performed slide board exercises for eight weeks, three sessions a week, each session lasted 30 -50 minutes. , ANOVA for repeated measured used for data analysis.(P<0.05). The research results showed that slide board exercises on pain (P≥0.05), functional stability of the shoulder joint (P≥0.05), upper limb function (P≥0.05), internal (P≥0.05) and external rotator (P≥0.05) arm strengthmuscle , ROM of internal(P≥0.05) and external (P≥0.05)rotation of arm and quality of life (P≥0.05) had a significant effect. Based on the effect of slide board exercises on the measured variables, the use of these exercises in the rehabilitation of patients with shoulder impingement syndrome is suggested in mentioned factors.
