Summary

Considering the fact that The problems experienced by the patients are not only physiological but also psychological and social. Unfortunately, there is no sufficient study focus on all these concepts.

Generally, studies focus on only physiological dimensions such as functional level, muscle strength and pain. The aim of this study, in addition to assessment methods commonly used for functional level, muscle strength and pain, is to evaluate central neuromuscular function on individuals who have undergone rotator cuff tear surgery with transcranial magnetic stimulation. Furthermore, psychological resilience, which is considered as a positive psychological trait, will also be evaluated. Until now, only one study has evaluated the role of psychological resilience in the postoperative process of rotator cuff surgery. This study has shown that the correlation between functionality and psychological resilience. As a result of our study, the influence of resiliency on postoperative outcomes following rotator cuff surgery will be determined and central neuromuscular function, shoulder functional level, and psychological resilience changes will be revealed in physiological and psychological concepts.

Furthermore, this study may show that psychological resilience has a potential role on predicting functional level and pain.

It is planned that the results obtained will guide the postoperative rehabilitation of rotator cuff surgery for further studies on multidimensional perspectives.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Tears

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Assessment of Central Neuromuscular Dysfunction, Shoulder Physical Functionality and Psychological Factors

Each of the 2 groups will be evaluated in terms of functional level and psychological factors; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons evaluation form (ASES), Connor-Davidson Psychological Resilience Scale (CDPRS) and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress-21 Scale (DASS-21) will be used to evaluate these factors. Furthermore, the corticospinal excitability of the deltoid muscle will be assessed with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Both deltoid muscles of the patient will be evaluated by saving motor evoked potentials signals that respond to TMS, and motor excitability will be compared between the affected arm and the unaffected arm. In addition, the control group will also be assessed in terms of functional level and psychological factors with TMS, ASES, DASS-21 and CPDRS.
