Effect of Isometric Exercise on Pain Perception in Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain

NCT03675399 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 35

Last updated 2021-04-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effects of an acute bout of isometric exercise of the shoulder external rotator muscles above and below pain threshold on pain intensity, pain threshold, conditioned pain modulation and pain free force in external rotation. To evaluate the results of the exercise, the subjects will be assessed at pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention and after and 45 minutes after each experimental condition.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

Interventions

OTHER

Supra-threshold isometric exercise

The supra-threshold intensity will be stablished at 120% of participant's PFIS pre-session measurement (20% above the individual's pain threshold).

OTHER

Infra-threshold isometric exercise

The infra-threshold intensity will be stablished at 80% of participant's PFIS pre-session measurement (20% bellow the individual's pain threshold).
