Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of motor control exercises given through telerehabilitation on shoulder function and quality of life in patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery.

Detailed Description

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

Treatment of rotator cuff tears can be conservative or surgical. The aim of rehabilitation postoperative period, is to reduce pain, increase joint range of motion (ROM), and enable the patient to return to normal functional activities as soon as possible while preventing the repaired tissue from tearing again.

Motor control training based on motor control theory reorganizes the cerebral cortex. In people with shoulder pain, a scapulothoracic posture retraining program reduces shoulder pain and improves scapulothoracic movement and muscle activation patterns and shoulder function. Therefore, rehabilitation should include correct positioning of the scapulothoracic joint through active muscle activation (motor control training) and retraining. However, the evidence is still limited and the effect of motor control exercises is not yet fully understood. Over the last 15 years, telerehabilitation in the broader field of telehealth has been used to help patients in rural areas improve healthcare and access services to reduce cost and transportation issues. Studies on the upper extremity have also begun to increase in recent years. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of motor control exercises given through telerehabilitation on shoulder function and quality of life in patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery.
