Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effects of the use of manual therapy and diadynamic in muscle trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle in individuals diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome, unilateral shoulder as functional capacity, pain intensity and pain threshold the pressure.
Interventions
OTHERmanual therapy
the positional release techniques will be performed while maintaining this position for 90 seconds procedure is repeated 3 times. Then, the therapist performs the ischemic compression technique on the myofascial trigger point, the compression is maintained for 90 seconds by 3 replications.
DEVICEdiadynamic current
Through an electrotherapy device were applied diadynamic in that myofascial trigger point previously marked. 4 minutes from the fixed two-phase mode will be applied (DF), 4 minutes long periods (LP) and 4 minute short periods (CP), the first and second intensely in the sensitive line and the third motor threshold, both supportable according to each patient.
