简要总结
This study was planned to analyze the changes in tendon cross-sectional area and shoulder pain with different exercise approaches applied in biceps brachii long head tendinopathy.
详细描述
There are different conservative treatment options for biceps brachii long head tendinopathy. However, the exercise approaches that can be applied for biceps brachii tendinopathy are not clear in the literature. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of exercises that include 12 weeks of eccentric training or combined exercise approaches.

研究组 & 干预措施
Eccentric Exercise Group
In the eccentric exercise group, in addition to strengthening exercises for the periscapular muscles and stretching exercises for the biceps brachii muscle, eccentric strengthening exercises for the biceps brachii muscle will be given.
干预措施: Eccentric Exercise (Other)
Combined-Exercise Group
In the combined exercise group, in addition to strengthening exercises for the periscapular muscles and stretching exercises for the biceps brachii muscle, progressive isometric, isotonic and plyometric strengthening training will be given to the biceps brachii muscle.
干预措施: Combined Exercise (Other)
Control Group
In the control group, strengthening exercises for the periscapular muscles and stretching exercises for the biceps brachii muscle will be given. Strengthening exercises for the biceps brachii muscle will not be given in this group.
