Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), a prevalent cause of shoulder pain, and how both physiotherapy and medical approaches can effectively manage it, particularly from the perspectives of Italian specialists.
- - An online survey with 629 participants, including orthopaedic surgeons and orthopaedic manipulative physical therapists (OMPTs), assessed their knowledge and practices regarding SIS diagnosis and management techniques.
- - Results show that while a majority of both groups agree that a combination of diagnostic tests is beneficial, OMPTs tend to focus more on clinical examinations, whereas orthopaedic surgeons employed a broader range of diagnostic strategies, indicating varied approaches between the two professions.
