Study Groups

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

Synchronous Telerehabilitation Group

The exercise program was applied to groups that include three participants of the synchronous group 3 days per week by video conference method on an online platform (Zoom) with the supervision of a physiotherapist. The time of the group session was organized according to the availability of participants in that group and the physiotherapist using shared calendar availability (Doodle). The physiotherapist sent a reminder to participants one hour prior to each session including the video conference meeting link. Each exercise session lasted approximately 40 minutes. For 8 weeks, a total of 24 exercise sessions were performed. The physiotherapist demonstrated the exercises as needed, supervised the group by giving real-time feedback, and progressed the exercise program according to the needs of each group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Synchronous Exercise Program

Intervention Type OTHER

The exercise program consisted of exercises by recommended guidelines for shoulder tendinopathy patients which includes various strengthening, stretching, and proprioceptive exercises with progression.

Asynchronous Telerehabilitation Group

The exercise program was prescribed and followed up 3 days per week via the mobile application (FizyoTr). A notification was sent to participants' phones via mobile application prior to each session and attendance to the exercise program was recorded. For 8 weeks, a total of 24 exercise sessions were performed. The physiotherapist progressed the exercise program according to the assessment at 4 weeks and the needs of each participant.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Asynchronous Exercise Program

Intervention Type OTHER

The exercise program consisted of exercises by recommended guidelines for shoulder tendinopathy patients which includes various strengthening, stretching, and proprioceptive exercises with progression.
