About this trial

The study will compare the effect of virtual reality based exercise training versus Mulligan mobilization in addition to exercise therapy added to both groups on shoulder posture and function in subacromial impingement syndrome.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participants ranged in age from 30-50 years old.

Participants are from non-athletes from the general population.
