Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is telerehabilitation effective in improving the functional status of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy?
Is telerehabilitation effective in reducing the pain of rotator cuff patients?

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Rotator Cuff Injuries Rotator Cuff Tendinitis	Other: Telerehabilitation Other: home exercise program	N/A

Detailed Description

Patients between the ages of 18-65 who were diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinopathy will be included in the study. Patients will be divided into two groups. Patients in group 1 will be given a home exercise program. Then, the patients will be called 3 times a week and it will be evaluated whether they do their exercises regularly and whether they do it correctly. At the end of the first month, the patients will be evaluated again for functionality and pain.

The patients in group 2 will be given a home exercise program and at the end of the first month, the patients will be evaluated again in terms of functionality and pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index [one month]
Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index is a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire, evaluating the change in symptoms and functional ability, specific to a Rotator Cuff tendinopathy. Raw scores range from 0 to 2100 with a higher score indicating decreased quality of life.
Simple Shoulder Test [one month]
A questionnaire about the function of the involved shoulder. Overall scored is calculated by number of yes/number of completed items. Minimum score is 0 %and maximum is 100 %. Higher scores indicate better function.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Range of motion [one month]
shoulder range of motion will be measured.
