Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All participants will receive treatment with a physiotherapist three times a week for six-weeks (18 sessions). At the end of the 6th week, it will be followed regularly with a six-week home exercise program. It will be evaluated by a physiotherapist three times in total (before treatment, at the end of six-weeks of treatment and after six-weeks of follow-up). In addition, all patients will undergo an interim evaluation in terms of primary outcome measures (VAS and DASH score) at week three. The shoulder pain on activity, at rest and at night will be assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Joint Range of Motion (ROM) will be measured with digital goniometer, strength of shoulder flexor, abductor, external and internal rotator muscles will be assessed with digital dynamometer, functional status will be evaluated with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, functional status of the hand will be evaluated with Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT), lateralization evaluation will be assessed with the Recognise™ application (Shoulder and Hand), and motor imagery will be evaluated with the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnair (KVIQ). Patient satisfaction will be evaluated by the Global Rating of Change scale.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group 1
Study group: "Graded Motor Imagery Training + Conventional Physiotherapy"
In this group, each participant will be received a treatment protocol consisting of Graded Motor Imagery training, conventional physiotherapy, and home exercises.
* Graded Motor Imagery (GMI)
* Conventional Physiotherapy Program
* Home Exercise Program
Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) training
GMI consists of three basic components:
1. Left / Right Discrimination training (Lateralization training): For lateralization training, patients will be trained by asking them to distinguish between right and left with images taken at various angles and positions in the RecogniseTM (NOI-Australia) applications (shoulder and hand sections) (In weeks 1 and 2).
2. Motor Imagery (Explicit Motor Imagery): At this stage, the participant will be asked to imagine doing various functional activities (brushing teeth, combing hair, etc.) in the position they feel most comfortable in and in a quiet environment (In weeks 2 and 3).
3. Mirror Therapy (providing visual feedback through a mirror): In this phase, active ROM exercises and progressive resistance exercises with simultaneous movement of the affected and unaffected extremities will be applied using a standard size posture mirror (In weeks 3-6).
This program will be applied for 6 weeks (3 sessions per week).
Conventional Physiotherapy
Conventional physiotherapy program includes passive, active-assistive (wand exercises) and active ROM exercises for shoulder joint, passive / active posterior and anterior capsule stretching exercises, superior-inferior, mediolateral and distraction techniques for scapular mobilization exercises, shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation muscles strengthening exercises, static and dynamic stabilization exercises for proprioception exercises. To reduce the pain that may occur after exercises, cold application and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) will be applied to benefit from their analgesic effects. Cold application will be applied around the shoulder using a coldpack (gel pack) cold therapy for 15 minutes. Conventional TENS application around shoulder will be performed using a TENS device and four separate 2 × 2 inch self-adhesive electrodes for 15 minutes.This program will be applied for 6 weeks (3 sessions per week).
Home Exercise Program
The home exercises program includes shoulder jonit active ROM exercises, active posterior and anterior shoulder capsule stretching exercises, shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation muscles strengthening exercises, shoulder proprioception exercises, and cold therapy. This program will be applied for 6 weeks (3 sessions per week).
Group 2
Control group: "Conventional Physiotherapy"
In this group, each participant will be received a treatment protocol consisting of conventional physiotherapy, and home exercises.
* Conventional Physiotherapy Program
* Home Exercise Program
Conventional Physiotherapy
Conventional physiotherapy program includes passive, active-assistive (wand exercises) and active ROM exercises for shoulder joint, passive / active posterior and anterior capsule stretching exercises, superior-inferior, mediolateral and distraction techniques for scapular mobilization exercises, shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation muscles strengthening exercises, static and dynamic stabilization exercises for proprioception exercises. To reduce the pain that may occur after exercises, cold application and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) will be applied to benefit from their analgesic effects. Cold application will be applied around the shoulder using a coldpack (gel pack) cold therapy for 15 minutes. Conventional TENS application around shoulder will be performed using a TENS device and four separate 2 × 2 inch self-adhesive electrodes for 15 minutes.This program will be applied for 6 weeks (3 sessions per week).
Home Exercise Program
The home exercises program includes shoulder jonit active ROM exercises, active posterior and anterior shoulder capsule stretching exercises, shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation muscles strengthening exercises, shoulder proprioception exercises, and cold therapy. This program will be applied for 6 weeks (3 sessions per week).
