About

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Serious-Game Exercise (SGE) platform on pain, range of motion (ROM), joint position sense, shoulder functions, and approximation force in patients with rotator cuff rupture. In addition, another objective is to evaluate the usage of balance board as a measurement tool for measuring the approximation force in the rotator cuff rupture.

Full description

Purpose: To examine the effect of Serious-Game Exercise (SGE) platform on pain, range of motion (ROM), joint position sense, shoulder functions, and approximation force in patients with rotator cuff rupture. In addition, another objective is to evaluate the usage of balance board as a measurement tool for measuring the approximation force in the rotator cuff rupture.

Method: Twenty patients with rotator cuff rupture will be included in the study. They will be divided into two groups as a serious game group (SGG) and a conventional exercise group (CEG) with a randomization method. The Serious game exercise program developed for shoulder rehabilitation will be applied to the SG group and conventional exercise training will be applied to the CEG. Pain severity, flexion, abduction and external rotation ROM, functionality, joint position sense, and approximation force of all individuals will be evaluated pre and post-treatment. SGG and CEG underwent serious games and conventional therapy twice a week for 6 weeks, respectively.
