Study Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the benefits from adding multimedia animations to a paper-based therapeutic exercise program in subjects with rotator cuff related shoulder pain. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • Does subjects improve more regarding shoulder disability and pain?
  • Are the subjects more satisfied with the treatment received?
  • Do the subjects adhere more to the exercise program?
  • Do the subjects have greater expectations with the treatment received? Participants will perform a therapeutic exercise program within 6 months. Researchers will compare the addition of web-app animations to the classical paper-based information.

  • Presence of full-thickness rotator cuff tears on ultrasound imaging.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)

Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6-week, change from baseline to 12-week, and change from baseline to 24-week

The SPADI ranges from 0% (no disability) to 100% (maximum degree of disability)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change in Patient's expectations of improvement(Change from baseline to 3-week, and change from baseline to 6-week)
  • Patient's satisfaction(6-week, and 12-week)
  • Patient's perceived usefulness of multimedia animations(12-week)
  • Patient's adherence(3-week, 6-week, 12-week, and 24-week)
  • Change in Pain intensity(Change from baseline to 6-week, change from baseline to 12-week, and change from baseline to 24-week)
  • Patient's perceived usability of multimedia animations(12-week)
  • Patient's satisfaction with the multimedia animations(12-week)
  • Patient's impression of improvement(6-week, 12-week, and 24-week)
