Summary

Rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) is regarded as a common and burdensome source of shoulder pain with prevalence estimated to be as high as 14% in general working-age population. RCT is a broad entity, including a vast variety of diagnosis such as shoulder impingement syndrome, RC tendinitis/tendinosis, as well as subacromial bursitis. The course of RCT is characterised by persistent pain and/or disability and/or recurrent episodes. It often leads to decrease function, lower health-related quality of life, poor sleep quality, work absenteeism, as well as patient's suffering. Previous studies support exercise as an adequate treatment in RCT. Nevertheless, our knowledge, there is no studies evaluating the effects of isoinertial training in RCT. Therefore, the aim of this study will be to pilot the methods proposed to conduct a substantive study to evaluate the efficacy of isoinertial training plus eccentric training versus eccentric training alone on improving pain and function in RCT. The objectives were to evaluate: (i) The process of recruitment and retention rates; (ii) Willingness of participants to be randomised; (iii) The extent of contamination between groups; (iv) Participant adherence with treatment. The secondary aim will be to analyse the effects of isoinertial training plus eccentric training versus eccentric training alone on rotator cuff strength, scapular muscle activity, and scapular muscle endurance in people with RCT.
