Comparison of Exercise Interventions in Adults With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

"Both groups will perform the seated full can, sidelying internal rotation (IR), sidelying external rotation (ER) with towel roll, supine protraction at 120° of flexion, sidelying horizontal abduction, sidelying abduction, and seated pulley extension using resistance weights in the participant's pain-free shoulder motion. One group will complete only the eccentric portion of the exercise actively, the other will complete only the concentric portion actively. The treating physical therapist will reposition the weights to avoid active resistance occuring in the opposite direction of the desired intervention. Both groups will use 70% of their predicted one repetition maximum (1RM), progressing to 80% with 1RM reassessed and training weight adjusted every two weeks."
