No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Rotator Cuff Syndrome (RCS) often lead to shoulder pain and reduced function, creating a demand for alternative treatments. This study examines the effectiveness of remote assessments and tele-exercise compared to traditional in-person methods for treating these injuries. The telemedicine group will receive remote consultations and asynchronous exercise videos, while the control group will have face-to-face meetings and comprehensive information. Follow-up assessments will track exercise compliance for both groups. Additionally, a questionnaire will assess functionality, and pain levels will be evaluated using a pain scale, providing a comprehensive evaluation of treatment outcomes.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Remote Monitoring of Participant Progress and Well-being via Video Calls

Participants with Rotator Cuff Syndrome undergo remote evaluations via video calls with a physician. On the same day, they receive an asynchronous exercise brochure containing instructions for performing home exercises three times a day. They are also provided with an exercise diary to track their daily exercise sessions. Follow-up assessments and discussions about their condition take place remotely on video calls with the physician on the 7th and 15th days. During the final video call on the 15th day, participants are asked to submit their exercise diaries via WhatsApp for assessment of exercise adherence.

OTHER

Face-to-Face Clinic-based Monitoring of Participant Progress and Well-being

Participants with Rotator Cuff Syndrome undergo in-clinic evaluations by a physician, during which they receive an exercise brochure with instructions for performing home exercises three times a day. They are also given an exercise diary to track their daily exercise sessions. On the 7th and 15th days, participants return for follow-up assessments and discussions about their condition. During the final clinic visit, participants are requested to submit their exercise diaries for assessment of exercise adherence.
