Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

Smallest Worthwhile Effect in Activity Pain Measured Using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) of Rotator Cuff Repair Compared With Supervised Exercise
Participants will be provided with standardized descriptions of the characteristics, benefits, limitations, and potential drawbacks of the treatment options. They will then be asked, hypothetically, how much greater reduction in activity pain they would require from rotator cuff repair compared with supervised exercise in order to prefer rotator cuff repair. Activity pain will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). The SWE will be reported as the minimum additional percentage reduction in activity pain required for participants to prefer rotator cuff repair over supervised exercise.
Baseline
Smallest Worthwhile Effect in Activity Pain Measured Using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) of Supervised Exercise Compared With Unsupervised Exercise
Participants will be provided with standardized descriptions of the characteristics, benefits, limitations, and potential drawbacks of the treatment options. They will then be asked, hypothetically, how much greater reduction in activity pain they would require from supervised exercise compared with unsupervised exercise in order to prefer supervised exercise. Activity pain will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). The SWE will be reported as the minimum additional percentage reduction in activity pain required for participants to prefer supervised exercise over unsupervised exercise.
