简要总结
The program of stretching, strengthening and proprioception is more effective than stretching and strengthening program in nursing, with rotator cuff disorder, according to indicators of quality of life and job satisfaction.
详细描述
The study will be conducted at the Rehabilitation Centre of the Hospital of the Medical School of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo (USP-HCFMRP).
The study will be conducted with nursing staff (nurses, technicians and nursing assistants) HCFMRP-USP.
The sample will consist of nursing workers sent by request for referral to a medical diagnosis of rotator cuff disorder in the period May 2010 to August 2011.
There was no sample size calculation for this study because the number of subjects directly depends on the demand of patients referred to the Department of Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Center (CER) in the period of data collection. All patients who met the study inclusion criteria were invited to participate.
So, once met the inclusion criteria of the sample, the subjects were randomly allocated to Group 1 (control) or 2 (experimental).

结局指标
主要结局
Indicators of quality of life (WORC - Western Ontario Rotator Cuff The Index)
时间窗: This scale is applied one day before and one day after the application of physical therapy intervention programs
The WORC was selected to be a reliable tool for measuring quality of life for patients with rotator cuff disorder,available in Portuguese and validated for Brazilian culture by Lopes et al (2008). The WORC consists of 21 items and has five fields, and you can get the total for each domain separately. The domains are: physical symptoms, sports and recreation, work, lifestyle and emotions. The total score ranges from zero to 2100. Thus, zero implies no reduction in quality of life and the worst score is 2100.
次要结局
- Questionnaire used was the Job Satisfaction Scale - Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI).(This scale is applied one day before and one day after the application of physical therapy intervention programs)
