Therapists often get referrals for shoulder impingement syndrome, a common diagnosis that limits an individual's ability to use their arm with meaningful occupations. They may also receive referrals for diagnoses distal to the shoulder but observe pain in the shoulder when the patient resumes use of the entire upper extremity, or they may be the first to identify shoulder dysfunction. Once a comprehensive evaluation is performed, therapists must choose evidence-informed interventions to address the impairments identified to return patients to meaningful occupations. There are many factors that can contribute to shoulder impingement syndrome, and treatment interventions must be individualized to meet each patient's unique needs. This course will synthesize the literature on treatment interventions and is applicable to therapists at a beginner level.
