Summary

Rotator cuff tendinopathy, also called subbracromial impingement syndrome, is one of the most important causes of anterior shoulder pain. Although exercise training is known as an effective intervention method in the treatment of rotator cuff/subacromial impingement problems, there is no definite consensus on which type of exercise is more effective. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the effects of the Heavy Slow Resistance (HSR) training and eccentric exercise training on pain, function, supraspinatus tendon structure, muscle strength, range of motion, subjective perception of improvement and treatment satisfaction in individuals with subacromial shoulder pain associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
  • Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
  • Bicep Tendinitis

Interventions

OTHER

Heavy slow resistance training

Patients will perform the exercises in the concentric and eccentric phases with the maximum amount of weight tolerated at a rate of 3 seconds/repetition. The number of sets\*repetitions is given below. 2-3 minutes rest between sets will be given. 1st week 3\*15 2-3.week 3\*12 4th-5th week 3\*10 6th week 3\*8

OTHER

Eccentric exercise training

Among the patients in the eccentric exercise group, only the eccentric phase of the exercises in the HSR group, will be asked to actively engage with the affected party. The eccentric contraction rate will be set to 6 seconds. Each exercise will be done 3 sets of 15 repetitions. In the next week, progress will be made in exercise intensity according to tolerance and 500 g will be added to the previous weight. will be continued. If patients cannot tolerate the new weight or there is an increase in pain, the same weight will be continued for another week.
