Study Overview
Brief Summary
- To investigate the effect of Pilates exercises program on pain intensity, pain threshold, shoulder lateral rotator strength, abduction strength and shoulder function in patients with (RCT).
- To investigate the effect of diaphragm manual therapy techniques on pain intensity, pain threshold, shoulder lateral rotator strength, abduction strength and shoulder function in patients with (RCT).

Detailed Description
Musculoskeletal complains are common work-related problems in Egypt. Egyptian preparatory school teachers were 96%. Dental society revealed high response rate (93%) with 53.8% have complains related to neck/shoulder .Physical therapists (PTs) are frequently exposed to work-related musculoskeletal disorders .Shoulder problems represent (47.7%).Printing workers and municipal solid waste collectors are another group having high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders that might be related to some individual factors (age, BMI, and duration of employment).
Since pilates shoulder exercise influence shoulder function and pain and to considering the relationship between shoulder muscles and the thoracic cage expansion. Consequently, it is worthy to investigate the efficacy of Pilates exercises program with diaphragm manual therapy techniques in pain intensity, pain threshold, shoulder lateral rotator strength, abduction strength and shoulder function on patient with rotator cuff tendinopathy aiming for function improvement and pain decrease. Therefore, this study is being conducted for this purpose.
