Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In our study a common exercise program, which can be used in conservative treatment of a partial rotator cuff tear, is applied with two different methods; a video-based rehabilitation program and physiotherapist-supervised rehabilitation program. Video-based rehabilitation program was developed to investigate whether this program is effective on pain, functionality and quality of life and as successful as a physiotherapist-supervised rehabilitation program.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

Video-Based Rehabilitation Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Video-Based Rehabilitation Program

Intervention Type 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 2

Physiotherapist-Supervised Rehabilitation Group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Physiotherapist-Supervised Rehabilitation Program

Intervention Type 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.
