Summary

Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) are among the most common musculoskeletal disorders and can be associated with pain, weakness, shoulder dysfunction and kinesiophobia. The management could be surgery or nonsurgical options such as medical treatment, education, activity modifications and physiotherapy. Physical activity is defined as any body movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires a certain amount of energy expenditure. Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and manage many diseases. Beyond these people, doing physical activity have better mental health, emotional wellbeing, quality of life and lower rates of mental illness. Additionally, physical activity and exercise applications are used as an alternative method to reduce the severity and frequency of pain in patients with chronic pain. Investigators reviewed the literature, we could not find any randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of physical activity in studies conducted with patients with RCRSP. Investigators hypothesized that adding physical activity to the treatment of RCRSP would make a significant difference. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of physical activity applied in addition to supervised exercise on pain, functional status and quality of life in patients with RCRSP.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries

Interventions

PROCEDURE

exercise program consisting of supervised exercise and physical activity

The Physical Activity Group (PAG) included in an exercise program consisting of supervised exercise and physical activity (30 minutes of moderate-intensity walking). Patients received 6 week (2-3 times a week) rehabilitation program composed of 15 physical therapy sessions.The physical activity program was applied as moderate intensity (maximum heart rate 50-70%) walking exercise. The patients were recommended to walk for 30 minutes, 3 days a week (total of 90 minutes) for the first 3 weeks, and 30 minutes 5 days a week (total of 150 minutes) for the 2nd 3 weeks

PROCEDURE

exercise program consisting of only supervised exercises.

The Control Group (CG) included in the program consisting of only supervised exercises. Patients received 6 week (2-3 times a week) rehabilitation program composed of 15 physical therapy sessions
