简要总结
Purpose: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of conventional therapy, Graded Motor Imagery (GMI), and Nintendo Wii-based biofeedback therapy in patients with rotator cuff injuries. The goal is to evaluate the impact of these three methods on pain management, range of motion (ROM), patient satisfaction, and functional performance.
Hypotheses:
There is no significant difference in pain management between conventional therapy, GMI, and Wii-based biofeedback therapy.
There is no significant difference in shoulder ROM between the three therapies. There is no significant difference in patient satisfaction among the therapies. There is no significant difference in functional performance improvement between the therapies.
Methods: A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial will be conducted with 36 patients with rotator cuff injuries. They will be randomly assigned to one of three groups and undergo 6 weeks of treatment. Pain, ROM, and functional performance will be assessed pre- and post-treatment. Data will be analyzed using ANOVA.
Potential Outcomes/Significance: The study may show that innovative approaches like GMI and Wii-based biofeedback therapy are effective treatment options. Results could contribute to developing new strategies for treating chronic pain and motor dysfunctions.
详细描述
Study Title: Comparative Effectiveness of Conventional Therapy, Graded Motor Imagery (GMI), and Nintendo Wii-Based Biofeedback Therapy in Rotator Cuff Injuries
Purpose: The primary aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three different therapeutic interventions-conventional therapy, Graded Motor Imagery (GMI), and Nintendo Wii-based biofeedback therapy-in managing rotator cuff injuries. The study will evaluate the impact of these therapies on key outcomes including pain management, shoulder range of motion (ROM), patient satisfaction, and functional performance. By comparing these methods, the study seeks to determine which therapy offers the best overall benefit for patients with rotator cuff injuries.
Hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1: There is no significant difference in pain management between conventional therapy, GMI, and Wii-based biofeedback therapy.
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): Significant differences in pain management exist among these therapies.

结局指标
主要结局
quickDASH short form
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks
QuickDASH will be used to assess upper extremity functional limitations and symptoms in patients with rotator cuff injuries Scoring: QuickDASH consists of 11 questions, each rated on a scale from 1 to 5. The final score is calculated between 0 (no difficulty) and 100 (extreme difficulty)
