Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) in Impingement Shoulder

In the past many authors have reported the abnormal contact between the rotator cuff and coracoacromial arch, but the exact etiology was not clearly understood. Thus, the objectives of this study relate specifically to improve the symptoms and rehabilitation of shoulder function of the patient: 1. Assess the effectiveness of magnet therapy in the treatment of impingement of the rotator cuff; 2. Assess whether the application of magnetic therapy 3 times a week for three weeks, may be effective as a single treatment of impingement of the rotator cuff; 3. Assess whether the combination of magnetic therapy with therapeutic exercises is more effective than magnetic therapy only; 4. Evaluate the benefits of magnetic therapy associated with therapeutic exercise in the short and long term. 5. Assess the effectiveness of the modulation of pulsed electromagnetic field at 25 Hz and 20 mT in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
