individuals aged between 18 and 60 years, with shoulder pain for at least three months; at least one positive specific test in physical exam (Jobe test or resisted external rotation); and diagnosed with tendinopathy by an orthopedist through confirmed morphological alterations in the rotator cuff tendons (supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus) observed using nuclear magnetic resonance or ultrasonography
individuals that perform high-intensity sports with high shoulder demand; impaired long head of biceps; adhesive capsulitis; history of glenohumeral luxation or subluxation; history of clavicle, scapula, or humerus fracture; history of rotator cuff surgical intervention; signs of partial or complete rupture of rotator cuff; acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis; neurologic or rheumatologic dysfunctions; corticoid application at least three months before the baseline evaluation; body mass index>28 kg/m2 since it may compromise quality of electromyography data; and individuals under treatment with fluoroquinolone antibiotics or diabetes because both may affect tendon metabolism.
