Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Tendon neuroplastic training
Group A will be treated with tendon neuroplastic training. The exercise involved isolated abduction external rotation ,internal rotation and flexion paced to an external audio cue on the patients' smartphone The patient was to listen to the sound and track the movement of the metronome with his eyes, as pacing to these types of external cues has been shown to modulate conspiratorial excitability.The pace of the metronome was set to 6 beats per minute such that each beat was ten seconds apart. This allowed a ten second isometric, eccentric and concentric phase, in 30 seconds totally. Three sets of 10 repetitions of slow progressive exercises (eccentric, concentric and isometric respectively) of the wrist rotator cuff muscles at each treatment session were performed, with 1-min rest interval between each set.
The patient followed the supervised exercise programme 3 times a week for 6 weeks
tendon neuroplastic training
Throughout the training, participants pain, range of motion and disability were monitored and they were asked to report any discomfort or unusual sign.
Conventional training
Group B will be treated with conventional therapy Participants will perform isometric contraction of the arm at 90° of elevation in the scapular plane. External and internal rotation, respectively) will be performed in the same positions of isometric strength assessment.Individuals will perform three sets, sustained for 32 s, at 70% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), resting for 80 seconds between sets.Resistance load will be determined according to maximal isometric strength of elevation and external and internal rotations measured during the pre-intervention assessment
conventional training
Throughout the training, participants pain, range of motion and disability were monitored and they were asked to report any discomfort or unusual sign.
