Letter to the Editor on “Thoracic Manual Therapy Improves Pain and Disability in Individuals With Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Compared With Placebo: A Randomized Controlled Trial With One-Year Follow-up”
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
- Preview
  Shoulder pain is 1 of the common musculoskeletal condition we often encounter and study, and various analyses of its prevalence have been conducted.¹ Because various approaches to the treatment of such condition is interesting, we read the study by Hunter et al² with great enthusiasm. Though there were several studies that previously investigated the relation between thoracic manual therapy and shoulder impingement syndrome, they have limitations, in that the follow-up period was short. In contrast, Hunter et al confirmed that the muscle energy technique (MET) was effective in reducing disability and pain for up to 1 year after end of treatment; however, in order for this study to become more valuable, some major concerns should be addressed.
