A randomized control trial: Role of k-cat technique with a specific exercise program in treating painful arc syndrome

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to see how effective Kinetic Chain Activation (KCAT) with tailored exercise programme were in reducing pain and improving range of motion and functional abilities in patient with painful arc syndrome. Pre and post evaluation was performed on 25 participants using the goniometer and shoulder pain disability index (SPADI). The findings suggest a significant reduction in pain level and improvement in range of motion and functional abilities following the intervention. These data suggest that the application of kinetic chain activation technique with specific tailored exercise programme is effective intervention for treating painful arc syndrome.
