Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of externally focused shoulder stabilization exercises on range of motion, pain, handgrip strength, and proprioception in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. For the study, 69 patients will be randomly divided into three groups: Home Program Group (HPG), Internal Focused Exercise Group (IFEG), and External Focused Exercise Group (EFEG). The treatment period for all three groups will be 6 weeks. Shoulder range of motion, pain, handgrip strength, joint position sense, and shoulder function (WORC and QuickDASH) of the three groups will be evaluated at baseline and after intervention. IFEG will do the exercises with a physiotherapist twice a week. During the exercise, the patient will be allowed to focus on the body parts while performing the movement. EFEG will do the exercises with a physiotherapist twice a week. The patient will be allowed to focus on a point outside the body, namely the effect of the movement, during the exercise. In the management of HPG patients will be provided with an exercise brochure. At the conclusion of the study, the three groups will be compared and evaluated using appropriate statistical analyses to assess the outcomes and determine any significant differences between them.
