Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will be conducted with nursing staff (nurses, technicians and nursing assistants) HCFMRP-USP.
The sample will consist of nursing workers sent by request for referral to a medical diagnosis of rotator cuff disorder in the period May 2010 to August 2011.
There was no sample size calculation for this study because the number of subjects directly depends on the demand of patients referred to the Department of Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Center (CER) in the period of data collection. All patients who met the study inclusion criteria were invited to participate.
So, once met the inclusion criteria of the sample, the subjects were randomly allocated to Group 1 (control) or 2 (experimental).
Group 1 was formed by the subjects in the control group in which they were performed stretching exercises, cryotherapy and strengthening the shoulder.
Group 2 was formed by the subjects in the experimental group were performed in which stretching exercises, strengthening, and cryotherapy proprioceção shoulder.

Study Groups

No proprioception
Nursing professionals to diagnose disorders of the rotator cuff previously randomly allocated in this group did stretching exercises of the muscles of the cervical spine and chest, strengthening the muscles of the rotator cuff and stabilizers of the scapula, in addition to cryotherapy reduction of pain.
Control, no Proprioception
The period of data collection period was from June 2010 to August 2011. All subjects who met the inclusion criteria, were randomly allocated to group 1 (control) or group 2 (experimental). Both groups consisted of 12 physical therapy sessions, taking place 2 times a week for 6 weeks. After randomization, subjects were allocated to group 1 (control group) underwent cervical stretching exercises, strengthening the scapular muscles and rotator cuff and cryotherapy.
Proprioceptive exercises
Nursing professionals to diagnose disorders of the rotator cuff previously randomly allocated in this group did stretching exercises of the muscles of the cervical spine and chest, strengthening the muscles of the rotator cuff and stabilizers of the scapula, proprioception exercises to improve motor control, besides cryotherapy for reduction of pain.
Experimental, Proprioceptive exercises
The period of data collection period was from June 2010 to August 2011. All subjects who met the inclusion criteria, were randomly allocated to group 1 (control) or group 2 (experimental). Both groups consisted of 12 physical therapy sessions, taking place 2 times a week for 6 weeks. After randomization, subjects were allocated to group 2 (experimental group) underwent cervical stretching exercises, strengthening the scapular muscles and rotator cuff exercises and cryotherapy as well as proprioceptive sensory-motor
