Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients with (local) shoulder pain in the presence of an atraumatic (ultrasonographically detected) partial thickness rotator cuff tear (PTT)
- •Clinical signs of shoulder impingement (e.g. painful arc, positive impingement signs (e.g. Hawkins-Kennedy))
- •Adults ( = 18 years)
- •No restrictions on gender
- •Agreement on conservative (i.e. non-surgical) treatment
- •Ability to speak and comprehend the German language

Exclusion Criteria

- •Previous substantial shoulder trauma (e.g. shoulder dislocation)
- •Previous surgery for the affected shoulder
- •Previous surgery in the shoulder area that may be causal of or contributory to the current problem (e.g. surgery for breast cancer)
- •Clinical or (if available) radiological evidence of structural joint pathology
- •Significantly restricted passive range of movement (ROM) at the affected shoulder (‘capsulitis-type disorders’); current shoulder infection
- •Clinical signs of symptomatic acromioclavicular arthritis (e.g. local tenderness, positive provocation tests, e.g. ‘Cross-Body Adduction Stress’ test)
- •Calcific tendinitis
- •Ultrasonographic evidence of Long Head of Biceps (LHB) tendon subluxation/ dislocation
- •Referred pain from the cervical spine region
- •‘Multisite musculoskeletal pain’
- •Systemic diseases or comorbidities as potential sources of (the current) shoulder pain (e.g. breast cancer, rheumatoid disease), or as impairing treatment (e.g. cancer, cardiac insufficiencies)
- •Neurological disorders or deficits as potential sources of (the current) shoulder pain or impairing assessment and treatment (e.g. hemiplegic shoulder)
- •Worker’s compensation claims
- •Unwillingness or inability to give informed consent (e.g. cognitive or intellectual impairments)
