Abstract
Background: Evaluating the quality of life patients with subacromial impingement syndrome is important for further treatments Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate simultaneously the quality of life with subacromial impingement syndrome using different parameters in a single model. Material and Methods: Ninety patients diagnosed subacromial impingement syndrome were included in the study. Mental component score and physical component score were measured using SF-36 in the assesment of the quality of life and different scores were evaluated. The indirect and direct effects of these tests on the quality of life were examined in a single model using the structural equation modelling. Results: The most total effect on physical component score was Shoulder Disability Questionnaire and the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score, Visual Analog Score had the least total effect on physical component score. Considering the results of mental component score, the total most effect was VAS had the the minimum total effect. Conclusion: The quality of life of the patients with subacromial impingement syndrom give more detailed informations when analysing the scores dependently. Evaluating the quality of life of subacromial impingement syndrome, using different measures of patients dependently will provide a more detailed research opportunity. If the patient quality of life evaluation is done in detail, it will facilitate the selection of appropriate treatment.
