Brief Summary

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

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the benefits from adding multimedia animations to a paper-based therapeutic exercise program in subjects with rotator cuff related shoulder pain. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Does subjects improve more regarding shoulder disability and pain?
* Are the subjects more satisfied with the treatment received?
* Do the subjects adhere more to the exercise program?
* Do the subjects have greater expectations with the treatment received? Participants will perform a therapeutic exercise program within 6 months. Researchers will compare the addition of web-app animations to the classical paper-based information.

Intervention Type OTHER

Therapeutic exercise program based on increasing resistance with elastic bands or weights. The programmes are composed of combinations of the following exercises:

* Scaption with elastic band.
* External rotation at 0º of abduction with elastic band.
* Internal rotation at 0º of abduction with elastic band.
* Shoulder protraction in supine position with weights.
* Low row with elastic band.
* Horizontal adduction stretching.
