Brief Summary

EFFECTS OF TENDON NEUROPLASTIC TRAINING ON PAIN, RANGE OF MOTION AND DISABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH ROTATOR CUFF TENDINOPATHY

Detailed Description

Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a condition where the shoulder's tendon suffers small tears or inflammation, often causing pain frequently arises from repetitive overuse or the natural aging process Regular overhead activities can aggravate the shoulder's wear and tear, leading to tendinosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the impact of tendon neuroplastic training with standard treatments on pain levels, functional disability, and the range of motion in patients suffering from rotator cuff tendinopathy. Data were collected from Riphah rehabilitation clinic Lahore. Nprs , goinmeter and Spadi questioner were used before and after the intervention. Assessment was done through the tool before and after the treatment.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Numeric pain rate scale (NPRS)

Time Frame: 6 weeks

Patient level of pain will be assessed using this scale. This scale ranges from 0 to 10. 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst pain".

Shoulder pain and disability index (spadi)

Time Frame: 6 weeks

Patient level of disability will be assessed using this scale. This ranges from 0 to 100. 0 indicates no disability" and 100 indicates disability"

Universal Goniometer (UG)

Time Frame: 6 weeks

It will measure range of motion of shoulder

Secondary Outcomes

No secondary outcomes reported
