Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the video-based rehabilitation program on pain, functionality and quality of life in the conservative treatment of partial tears of the rotator cuff whether it was as successful as the physiotherapist-supervised rehabilitation program.

Conditions

Rotator Cuff Tear; Pain, Shoulder

Keywords

rotator cuff; physiotherapy; video-based rehabilitation; exercise

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM)

  The shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation ROM were evaluated with goniometer while the patient was in supine position.

  Shoulder range of motion evaluation was performed first time at baseline and second time after 6 weeks rehabilitation program. After treatment "change" was assessed.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  Evaluation was performed before treatment and after 6 weeks rehabilitation program. Patients were asked to evaluate their pain status with a 10-point scale and high scores are positively correlated with pain.

• ASES (The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment) Form

  Evaluation was performed before treatment and after 6 weeks rehabilitation program.

• Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire

  Evaluation was performed before treatment and after 6 weeks rehabilitation program.

• Short Form 12 (SF-12)

  Evaluation was performed before treatment and after 6 weeks rehabilitation program.

• Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale

  Evaluation was performed after 6 weeks rehabilitation program.

Interventions

Video-Based Rehabilitation Program OTHER

In both groups, a program consisting of exercises used in conservative treatment of rotator cuff tears was performed. A video record was made by the physiotherapist to a patient where each exercise was described in detail and the patient correctly performed the exercises according to the verbal and visual commands of the physiotherapist. This video record watched by the patients who come to the clinic and patients were asked to do the exercises in the video. Patients did the exercises under control of the physiotherapist in the clinic.

Group 1

Physiotherapist-Supervised Rehabilitation Program OTHER

In both groups, a program consisting of exercises used in conservative treatment of rotator cuff tears was performed. Program was carried out by teaching the same exercises individually by the physiotherapist.

Group 2

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 40 Years - 60 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Forty years of age or older patients that had been diagnosed for a partial rotator cuff tear that was unrelated to trauma by a specialist orthopedist with MRI and physical examination and no other shoulder problems on the diagnosed shoulder were included into this study.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients that had been diagnosed for a full-thickness or massive rotator cuff tear, operated previously, had frozen shoulder or glenohumeral instability
• Younger than 40-year-old, and athletic patients with acute tear symptom were excluded from this study.
