Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The intervention will consist of an exercise program including lowload exercises with elastics and dumbbells, targeting the rotator cuff in a 12 weeks home-exercise program with two control visits at a physiotherapy department at the hospitals.
Tissue elasticity (measured by sonoelastography) is used as the primary outcome and is measured 12 weeks post baseline

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Low Load Exercises
An exercise program consisting of 6 active exercises. Two exercises for the rotator cuff: Full Can and Sidelying external rotation Two exercises for the scapulae stabilizing muscles: Low Row and Push-Up Plus Two glenohumeral/postural corrective exercises: Posterior GH stretch and Scapular Retraction.
Low Load Exercises
All rotator cuff and scapular exercises are performed with 3 sets of 20 repetitions 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The load is set at around 60% of 1 RM (20 reps).
The glenohumeral/postural corrective exercises are performed with 3 sets of 5 repetitions (The position is held for 15 seconds per repetition).
