Ever wondered if patients w/ subacromial impingement perform enough strengthening and if adding more will improve outcomes? Our new RCT (n=200) with objective monitoring of exercise dose is out now.

WHY! Well, strengthening exercise is a key component in non-operative care for subacromial impingement, but recent studies suggest that the dose of strengthening exercise is not sufficient in current non-operative care.
