What problems did the researchers set out to study, and why?
 
Various factors have been proposed to contribute to subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) of the shoulder, many of which (eg, abnormal acromial morphology) cannot be modified through physical therapy intervention. In this study, researchers sought to compare several factors thought to be modifiable with rehabilitation in people with and without SAIS. These factors included kinematics of the scapula, shoulder range of motion, shoulder muscle force, and both upper thoracic spine and shoulder resting posture.

Who participated in the study?
 
Forty-five subjects with impingement syndrome (SAIS group) and 45 matched subjects without known shoulder pathology or impairment (control group). Subjects . . . [Full Text of this Article]
