Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Serious-Game Exercise (SGE) platform on pain, range of motion (ROM), joint position sense, shoulder functions, and approximation force in patients with rotator cuff rupture. In addition, another objective is to evaluate the usage of balance board as a measurement tool for measuring the approximation force in the rotator cuff rupture.
Detailed Description
Purpose: To examine the effect of Serious-Game Exercise (SGE) platform on pain, range of motion (ROM), joint position sense, shoulder functions, and approximation force in patients with rotator cuff rupture. In addition, another objective is to evaluate the usage of balance board as a measurement tool for measuring the approximation force in the rotator cuff rupture. Method: Twenty patients with rotator cuff rupture will be included in the study. They will be divided into two groups as a serious game group (SGG) and a conventional exercise group (CEG) with a randomization method. The Serious game exercise program developed for shoulder rehabilitation will be applied to the SG group and conventional exercise training will be applied to the CEG. Pain severity, flexion, abduction and external rotation ROM, functionality, joint position sense, and approximation force of all individuals will be evaluated pre and post-treatment. SGG and CEG underwent serious games and conventional therapy twice a week for 6 weeks, respectively.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Shoulder approximation force
Time Frame: 5 minutes
Shoulder approximation force will be evaluated with the Becure Balance System. During this measurement, the individual will be asked to put both hands on the Balance Board and then apply downward force without using body weight. Measurements will be taken in standing and sitting positions (0° and 90°).
Pain assessment- Visual Analogue scale
Time Frame: 5 minutes
Pain level is measured with the visual analogue scale (VAS), at rest and activity. The visual analogue scale consists of a 10-cm line. Participants were asked to indicate in the scale their current level of pain where the higher values are more intense pain.
Range of motion
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The range of motion of the joint of the individuals participating in the study will be evaluated with Becure Extremity ROM. The patient stands in front of the camera and perform the directed movement. In this study, flexion, abduction and external rotation ranges of motion of the shoulder joint will be measured.
Joint position sense
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The joint position sense of the individuals will be evaluated with the Becure Extremity ROM. Subjects will be first asked to raise their shoulder to a certain degree and bring it to the same angle value with eyes closed. The difference between shoulder angles will be calculated by recording the angle value formed with eyes closed and open.
Secondary Outcomes
- The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire(5 minutes)
