Summary

Rotatorcuff lesions constitute 10% of the causes of shoulder pain. Supraspinatus tear is one of the common rotatorcuff lesions. It affects the quality of life negatively and causes loss of range of motion and muscle strength. It can be seen due to traumatic or degenerative causes. Its incidence increases with advanced age. While the incidence was reported as 4% in the population aged 40-60 years, this rate was reported to be 17-50% in the group over the age of 60 and 80% in the group over the age of 80. Radiologically, classification is made as partial or full-thickness tears. Rotatorcuff tears can be treated conservatively or surgically. Although the risk of post-surgical rupture is reduced with new methods, the lack of desired tendon healing has led to the search for alternative applications such as biological augmentation and high-intensity laser. The aim of this study is to reveal the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy in patients with partial supraspinatus tear.

Conditions

  • Supraspinatus Tear

Interventions

DEVICE

High-intensity lazer therapy

Patients in the laser group will be given hiltherapy (high-intensity laser) with the HIRO 3 device every other day. One session of laser therapy application consists of 3 phases: the beginning, the middle and the ending phase. The initial phases are fast scanning and the ending phase is slow scanning. A total of 2000 J will be applied to the rotatorcuff muscles, the upper part of the trapezius muscle, the deltoid muscle and the pectoralis major muscle, 1000 J in the rapid scan phase and 1000 J in the finishing phase. In the middle phase, 50 J will be applied for the trigger point (hard intramuscular points that cause referred pain) in each muscle and a maximum of 500 J in total. The total dose prescribed for patients in one session will be 2500 J. Each phase will be 15 minutes on average and the session will last for 45 minutes in total. The laser probe will be applied with 90 degrees. During the application, the practitioner and the patient will have protective glasses.
