Aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) exercises and Shoulder Mobilization (SM) on pain, range of motion (ROM), functionality, and muscle strength in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). Forty-four patients were divided into three groups as Group I: Conventional physiotherapy receiving group (control group; n=14), Group II: Conventional physiotherapy + PNF exercises receiving group (PNF group; n=15), and Group III: conventional physiotherapy + SM receiving group (SM group; n=15). Pain, ROM, muscle strength, and functionality were evaluated by using visual analog scale (VAS), goniometer, push-pull dynamometer, Constant-Murley score and The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Score respectively. Patients received 20 sessions in total under supervision of a physiotherapist. Patients were evaluated at baseline, at week two, at week four, and at week sixteen.
