Summary

Various options are available for the treatment of rotator cuff syndrome, including conservative and surgical. Conservative treatment methods include activity modification, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroid injections (CSIs), and physiotherapy. Physiotherapy methods include various interventions such as manual therapy, exercise, and electrotherapy. Although these treatments do not directly treat the specific pathology, they help correct rotator cuff and scapular muscle weakness and dysfunction, reduce the tightness of the posterior capsule and other soft tissues, and relieve pain and dysfunction. It focuses on correcting the postural abnormalities that contribute to the disease.

In our study, the investigators aimed to determine the effects of rehabilitation components in the conservative treatment of patients with rotator cuff syndrome and to determine the effects of strengthening exercises on the functional status of the patients.

  • Physiotherapy

Interventions

Exercise

Participants were randomly divided into two treatment groups. There are 10 patients in each group. The patients in the control group received a standard treatment programme, while the patients in the experimental group received strengthening exercises with theraband in addition to the standard treatment programme. Treatment sessions for both groups lasted 50-55 minutes and were performed three days a week. Details of the study groups are given below.
