Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Serious-Game Exercise (SGE) platform on pain, range of motion (ROM), joint position sense, shoulder functions, and approximation force in patients with rotator cuff rupture. In addition, another objective is to evaluate the usage of balance board as a measurement tool for measuring the approximation force in the rotator cuff rupture.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Pain assessment- Visual Analogue scale

  Pain level is measured with the visual analogue scale (VAS), at rest and activity. The visual analogue scale consists of a 10-cm line. Participants were asked to indicate in the scale their current level of pain where the higher values are more intense pain.

  5 minutes

• Range of motion

  The range of motion of the joint of the individuals participating in the study will be evaluated with Becure Extremity ROM. The patient stands in front of the camera and perform the directed movement. In this study, flexion, abduction and external rotation ranges of motion of the shoulder joint will be measured.

  5 minutes

• Joint position sense

  The joint position sense of the individuals will be evaluated with the Becure Extremity ROM. Subjects will be first asked to raise their shoulder to a certain degree and bring it to the same angle value with eyes closed. The difference between shoulder angles will be calculated by recording the angle value formed with eyes closed and open.

  5 minutes

• Shoulder approximation force

  Shoulder approximation force will be evaluated with the Becure Balance System. During this measurement, the individual will be asked to put both hands on the Balance Board and then apply downward force without using body weight. Measurements will be taken in standing and sitting positions (0° and 90°).

Interventions

ConventioanalExercises OTHER

Wand exercises and shoulder wheel exercises to increase the range of motion of the shoulder joint with 10 repetitions will be applied in CEG. Finger ladder exercises will be performed in the abduction and flexion position with 5 repetitions, holding the endpoint for 5 seconds. Stretching exercises with 5 repetitions will be applied in all directions for the limitation of movement, holding it for 20 seconds at the endpoint. Individuals performed conventional exercises twice a week for 6 weeks.

Conventional exercise group

Serious games OTHER

A Serious game program will be applied to the individuals twice a week for 6 weeks in this group. Armrotate, Uball, Balance Surf and Balance Adventure games will be developed by Becure company for shoulder rehabilitation. These games developed for shoulder rehabilitation will be applied to individuals under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Each game will be played for 10 minutes, for a total of 40 minutes.
