Telerehabilitation in Individuals With Rotator Cuff Tear

Summary

The majority of patients presenting with shoulder pain are those with rotator cuff problems. Although telerehabilitation is a promising field in many areas, there is still limited high-quality research with strong evidence of its effectiveness for musculoskeletal problems. In this study, online rehabilitation and face-to-face rehabilitation will be compared in people with partial rotator cuff tears.

Conditions

• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation
• Shoulder Pain
• Rotator Cuff Injuries
