“…To date, there is only one study that included a comprehensive assessment of shoulder proprioception (including the passive and active joint position sense and kinesthesia) in patients with SAPS. 6 The authors concluded that shoulder proprioception is impaired in patients with SAPS using a painful position to assess the proprioception acuity.…”

“…Although the importance of the proprioception assessment in other musculoskeletal conditions have been established, patients with SAPS were not broadly evaluated until now. To date, there is only one study that included a comprehensive assessment of shoulder proprioception (including the passive and active joint position sense and kinesthesia) in patients with SAPS . The authors concluded that shoulder proprioception is impaired in patients with SAPS using a painful position to assess the proprioception acuity.…”

“…Our study aimed to extend the findings of the study by Sahin et al by testing two new factors: (1) the use of a pain‐free position of the shoulder for the comparison of shoulder proprioception between patients with SAPS and matched controls, and (2) the investigation of the relationship of the shoulder proprioceptive acuity with the patient self‐reported clinical measures (pain intensity and disability) among patients with SAPS. The results of our study could lead to a better understanding of the role of SAPS on the proprioceptive acuity of the shoulder and its relationship with clinical measures in patients with SAPS.…”

“…[1][2][3] SAPS is characterized by pain and disability, mainly during activities involving arm lifting above shoulder height, 4 which generate a considerable limitation of mobility. 5 Patients with SAPS 6,7 or rotator cuff injury 8 can present reduced proprioception when compared to controls. Thus, proprioceptive training is commonly used in clinical practice for the treatment of the shoulder injuries.…”

Background Shoulder pain is common among patients with musculoskeletal pain and the prevalence of patients with subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) is high. Despite the high prevalence, there is a lack of an extensive evaluation of the proprioception acuity in patients with SAPS. Knowledge of the proprioceptive deficit would assist clinicians in the proper treatment and may offer an alternative explanation for the mechanisms underlying SAPS, which are poorly understood. Objective To compare the proprioceptive function of the shoulder in patients with SAPS and matched controls. Study Design Matched case‐control study. Setting Physical Functional Rehabilitation Service of an outpatient clinic. Participants A total of 32 consecutive patients with SAPS who sought physical therapy for shoulder pain and 32 healthy participants (control group) matched for age, sex, and handedness. Interventions All participants completed a questionnaire containing sociodemographic information, pain intensity and characteristics, the Numerical Pain Rating Scale, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. Main Outcome Measurements The proprioceptive assessment was performed through kinesthesia, passive joint position sense (PJPS), and the active joint position sense (AJPS). Results The groups showed no statistically significant differences in kinesthesia, PJPS, and AJPS for internal or external rotation. The proprioceptive acuity was not associated with pain intensity or functional disability in patients with SAPS. Conclusions Participants with SAPS did not present proprioceptive deficits in a pain‐free motion of medial and lateral rotation when compared to their matched controls. The proprioceptive deficit may not be involved with the mechanisms underlying SAPS and seems not to interfere with the clinical outcomes of patients with SAPS. Level of Evidence Level III.
