One hundred subjects, 52 shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) patients and 48 asymptomatic patients, were randomized to receive thrust thoracic spine manipulation (TSM) or sham intervention. Patients were assessed before intervention and immediately after treatment.

Overall, difference in scapular kinematics from pre- to post-test were not clinically relevant.
