Background : Musculoskeletal disorders is a natural health problem in the working population. The total global prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in shoulders is 55.63%. There is a major risk of development of upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders in painters. Painters are engaged in a profession where they have to do repetitive overhead activity above 90 degrees; This impairs the blood supply to the rotator cuff muscles and may be one determinant of rotator cuff impingement working with the hands at or above shoulder level.
Aim : To find out the prevalence of supraspinatus impingement in Painters.
Objectives : To assess the shoulder pain in painters using Visual Analogue Scale. To find out the prevalence of supraspinatus impingement in painters using a Hawkins – Kennedy Impingement Test.
Methodology : There were 85 subjects taken age range between 26 – 40 years. The duration of the study was of 6 months. As per inclusion criteria subjects had more than 1 year of working experience and working more than 6 hours a day. Subjects were given Visual Analogue Scale and the intensity of pain was marked by them on the scale. Special test like Hawkins – Kennedy Impingement for testing supraspinatus impingement was performed.
Results : 58% were seen positive for Hawkins – Kennedy test.
Conclusion : There is 58% prevalence of supraspinatus impingement in painters.
