| description | Background: Physical exercises targeting proprioception are part of conservative therapy for Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SAPS). However, the effect of such exercises on proprioception itself has not been orderly established, hampering the advancement of treatment protocols and implementation. We summarised the evidence for a loss of proprioception in SAPS and defined the type of interventions that target and improve proprioception in SAPS.
Methods: Two reviewers independently analysed 12/761 articles that evaluated joint position, kinaesthetic or force sense in patients with SAPS.
Results: Patients with SAPS had reduced joint position sense during abduction. There was no evidence for a loss of kinaesthetic sense or force sense. Stretching, strengthening and stabilisation exercises improved joint position and kinaesthetic sense in SAPS. Microcurrent electrical stimulation and kinesiotaping did not improve proprioception in SAPS.
Conclusions: The lack of evidence on proprioception in SAPS is striking. We found limited evidence for a loss of joint position sense in the higher ranges of abduction in SAPS. Active training programmes including strengthening and stabilisation exercises showed superiority in terms of enhancing proprioception relative to passive methods like kinesiotaping. The results of this narrative synthesis should be used as a base for providing value-based and data-driven treatment solutions to SAPS. |
