Prospective, randomized, single blinded study was planned to compare the effects of ultrasound and mobilisation in subacromial impingement syndrome 40 patients, who applied with shoulder pain and whose diagnosis were subacromial impingement syndrome after physical examination, were enrolled. First group were treated with hot pack, exercises and mobilization, and the second group with hot pack, exercises and ultrasound. The patients were evaluated 3 times: before the treatment, after the treatment and 2 months after the treatment. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used for pain, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and constant scale for shoulder function, and range of motion (ROM) was measured with a goniometry. Mean age of the groups was 51.82±6.81years, mean pain period was 7±4 months. It was a homogeneus group (P>0.05). When pain evaluated according to VAS in both of the groups, improvement was highly significant after treatment and two months after treatment (p<0,01). There were no difference between the groups (p>0,05). Significant improvement of active range of motion and manuel muscle strength evaluation were detected in both groups (p<0,01), and there were no difference between the groups (p>0,05). The increase in UCLA and constant scores were highly significant in two groups (p<0,01), and there were no difference between the groups (p>0,05). The treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome by ultrasound and mobilisation were found effective on pain, activities of daily living, range of motion and muscle strength.
