Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the video-based rehabilitation program on pain, functionality and quality of life in the conservative treatment of partial tears of the rotator cuff whether it was as successful as the physiotherapist-supervised rehabilitation program.
Detailed Description
In our study a common exercise program, which can be used in conservative treatment of a partial rotator cuff tear, is applied with two different methods; a video-based rehabilitation program and physiotherapist-supervised rehabilitation program. Video-based rehabilitation program was developed to investigate whether this program is effective on pain, functionality and quality of life and as successful as a physiotherapist-supervised rehabilitation program.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM)
Time Frame: Shoulder range of motion evaluation was performed first time at baseline and second time after 6 weeks rehabilitation program. After treatment "change" was assessed.
The shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation ROM were evaluated with goniometer while the patient was in supine position.
Secondary Outcomes
- Short Form 12 (SF-12)(Evaluation was performed before treatment and after 6 weeks rehabilitation program.)
- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)(Evaluation was performed before treatment and after 6 weeks rehabilitation program. Patients were asked to evaluate their pain status with a 10-point scale and high scores are positively correlated with pain.)
- Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire(Evaluation was performed before treatment and after 6 weeks rehabilitation program.)
- ASES (The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment) Form(Evaluation was performed before treatment and after 6 weeks rehabilitation program.)
- Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale(Evaluation was performed after 6 weeks rehabilitation program.)
