Abstrakt: | Subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) defined as pain of nontraumatic origin localized around the acromion, is a debilitating, common, and often chronic condition. Among many proposed underlying causes of SAPS, hypoperfusion and hypoxic conditions in and around the tendons may be an intrinsic cause of SAPS. Purpose: This study aimed to determine if adding high-intensity aerobic interval training (HIIT) of the rotator cuff to usual care was feasible in SAPS and improved shoulder endurance more than usual care alone, as well as to examine the influence on shoulder pain and disability and the response of tendinous microcirculation after HIIT. Methods: Twenty-one subjects with chronic SAPS were randomized to two groups: experimental group (EG; n = 13) receiving HIIT in addition to treatment as usual and control group (CG; n = 8) receiving treatment as usual. Before and after 8 wk of exercise therapy, endurance performance was assessed by an incremental abduction exercise of the arm to exhaustion (TTE). Pain and disability was assessed by the shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI). Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the musculus supraspinatus and tendon was utilized to indicate tendon blood flow. Results: Endurance in the TTE test improved by an estimated 233 s more on average in EG than in CG (P = 0.001; 95% confidence interval, 102 to 363). The SPADI score was reduced 22 points more on average in EG (P = 0.017; 95% confidence interval, -40 to -5). The change from pretest to posttest was significant in EG for both TTE test and SPADI improvement (P < 0.001). EG also experienced less pain during exercise after the intervention compared with CG (P < 0.001). Contrast-enhanced ultrasound indicated an increase in tendinous blood flow in EG (P = 0.019). Conclusions: HIIT rotator cuff exercise seems to be a feasible intervention in SAPS, increasing endurance performance more than usual care alone. |
