Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In the intervention group, the participants will have to implement two different kinds of treatment. First of all, they will have to complete a motor control program focused on muscles like medium and lower trapezius and anterior serratus, which are responsible for stabilize the scapula when shoulder makes a movement in the space. In addition, this group will realise also a strengthening program for the rotator cuff muscles. This program consists on working in different movements of the shoulder like flexion, extension, abduction, internal and external rotation using elastic bands to get resistance for these movements. The participants will realise 3 series of each movement with 10 repetitions per serie.

Elastic bands will be used to perform the strengthening program. Different levels of resistance will be used depending on the patient evolution. These levels will be supervised by the therapist. Besides, participants will receive verbal orders from the therapist to implement the motor control program in the correct way.

The professional who will implement the program will be a physiotherapist with more than five years of clinical experience.

The delivery mode will be attendance individually in a physiotherapist consultation. During the intervention, participants will have to sign every attendance session at hospital. This condition will allow the researchers to know the level of attendance in control and intervention group.

The intervention consists of two sessions of 30 minutes per week during eight weeks.
The location will be in a public hospital in Madrid called "Hospital Clinico San Carlos".

Comparator / control treatment
Comparator / control treatment: The control group is an active group, they will perform the same strengthening program as the intervention group, with elastic bands for the rotator cuff muscles. This group will realise abduction, flexion, extension, internal and external rotation movements in the shoulder joint, the resistance will be given by the different levels of elastic bands. Different from intervention, control group will not implement a motor control program for the scapula-thoracic joint.

They also will attendance at hospital during eight weeks with two sessions per week too.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 299785 0
To measure the effect of the application of a motor control program, in addition with a program to strengthen shoulder in pain of patients diagnosed with subacromial syndrome. This outcome will be assessed using a visual analogue scale.
Timepoint [1] 299785 0
For this primary outcome we will realise three timepoints. First of all, at baseline before participants begins the treatment. Secondly when rehabilitation program will be finished, in the last treatment session, and finally a month after the intervention was concluded.
Primary outcome [2] 299835 0
To measure the effect of the application of a motor control program, in addition with a program to strengthen shoulder in functionality of patients diagnosed with subacromial syndrome. This outcome will be measured using DASH questionnaire.
Timepoint [2] 299835 0
For this primary outcome we will realise three timepoints. First of all, at baseline before participants begins the treatment. Secondly when rehabilitation program will be finished, in the last treatment session, and finally a month after the intervention was concluded.
Secondary outcome [1] 328108 0
to assess changes in pressure pain threshold in symptomatic shoulder structures after applying the intervention. This outcome will be assessed using algometry.
Timepoint [1] 328108 0
For this secondary outcome we will realise three timepoints. First of all, at baseline before participants begins the treatment. Secondly when rehabilitation program will be finished, in the last treatment session, and finally a month after the intervention was concluded.
Secondary outcome [2] 328109 0
Proprioception, assessed by Joint Position Sense in the shoulder flexion movement.
Timepoint [2] 328109 0
For this secondary outcome we will realise three timepoints. First of all, at baseline before participants begins the treatment. Secondly when rehabilitation program will be finished, in the last treatment session, and finally a month after the intervention was concluded.
