Full description

This study aimed to determine the psychosocial effects of exercise training in patients with rotator cuff tears. Fifty voluntary patients with partial rotator cuff tear will be randomized into two groups: Supervised exercise group (SE) and home exercise (HE) group, for a standardized 8 weeks exercise program. The primary outcome is the Constant-Murley Score (CMS). The secondary outcomes are the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), active range of motion (AROM), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSI), Short Form-12 (SF-12), and Global Rating of Change (GRC). Outcome measures will be performed at baseline and at the end of 8-week intervention.
