The Acute Effects of Different Stretching Methods in Individuals With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

In modified cross body position, isolytic stretching exercises will perform five times each for 15 seconds. After each stretching patient will rest for 5 seconds. When the patient contracts the agonist muscle group with 20% muscle force, the agonist muscle group is stretched at the same time for 2-4 seconds. Afterwards active-assistive stretching is done. Evaluations will be done before and just after stretching exercise.

In modified cross body position, active-assistive static stretching exercises will be performed 5 times each for 15 seconds. This stretching exercise is performed 5 times with 5 seconds intervals. Evaluations will be done before and just after stretching exercise.

Control group will receive no stretching. They will be handed a brochure about the stretching techniques and its role in injury prevention. Control group will be evaluated for the first time and then will be passively waited until the duration of the stretching exercise program (approximately 4-5 min). Afterwards, second evaluation will be performed.
