Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Keywords

Brief summary

Even at the early stage of employment exposure to mechanical factors such as lifting heavy weights, working with hands at or above shoulder level, and pushing or pulling heavy loads are independent risk factors for new-onset shoulder pain . Shoulder-related problems among workers doing spading are 53.1% and 57.7% among workers brick carrying tasks, these shoulder issues may be the result of repetitive awkward movement (beyond ninety degree raising with abduction position) of the shoulder during these activities .

Detailed description

The highest prevalence of shoulder impingement syndrome is among slaughterhouses as they are exposed to a combination of repetitive shoulder movements and sustained elevated arm . Several of workplace physical exposures are implicated in the causation and/or increasing shoulder disorders. Occupational exposures including manual handling heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, carrying), working above shoulder height, and repetitive work are the most frequent causes of shoulder disorders specifically the subacromial impingement syndrome. Shoulder-related problems among workers doing spading are 53.1% and 57.7% among workers brick carrying tasks, these shoulder issues may be the result of repetitive awkward movement (beyond ninety degree raising with abduction position) of the shoulder during these activities.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain intensity level8 weeksNumerical Pain Rating Scale will be used to assess shoulder pain intensity level with zero indicates there is no pain and ten indicates the pain is severe intolerable

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Function8 weeksDASH-Arabic a self-administered outcome measure will be used to assess disability in patients
