Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: single-blind, parallel-arm randomized controlled trial. METHODS: 26 patients diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome were equally randomized into 2 groups: manual treatment according to the FDM, and joint mobilization of the shoulder complex. All patients received 3 intervention sessions every other day. Pain intensity (by visual analogue scale), pain-free abduction range of motion (by goniometry) and function (by Persian version of shoulder pain and disability index) were measured before and after every session and at follow-up 2 weeks later. Patients' satisfaction with treatment was also measured (by a 4-point Likert scale) at follow-up. RESULTS: FDM therapy group showed statistically significant greater pain reduction (P = 0.014) and range of motion increment (P = 0.044) than joint mobilization group after intervention, while only range of motion maintained the difference at follow-up (P = 0.034). Function improvement was not statistically different after the intervention (P = 0.582) and at follow-up (P = 0.094). There was no difference in patients' satisfaction with treatment between groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION:
