Health Condition 1: M709- Unspecified soft tissue disorder related to use, overuse and pressure
Conditions
Interventions
Intervention1: Eccentric Strength Training for Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain (FITT-Based): Participants perform structured eccentric exercises targeting the rotator cuff (dominant/symptomatic sid
4 12 weeks) while intensity and exercise type remain consistent. Sessions last 20 25 minutes and focus on controlled muscle lengthening to improve tendon properties, strength, and shoulder function. A

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Adults aged 20 40 years diagnosed with rotator cuff related shoulder pain RCRSP, including rotator cuff tendinopathy or subacromial pain syndrome, confirmed through clinical assessment will be included. Participants must demonstrate pain reproduced with at least one clinical test, including resisted external rotation, the empty can test, or a painful arc during shoulder abduction. Eligible individuals must be willing and able to participate in the prescribed eccentric strength training program for the entire study duration. The duration of symptoms should be at least 3 weeks but less than 12 months. Additionally, participants may have MRI or ultrasound confirmed partial-thickness rotator cuff tear 4 cm or rotator cuff tendinopathy without full-thickness tear. Participants should also report a baseline pain intensity between 3 and 8 on the Visual Analogue Scale VAS during shoulder activity, consistent with symptomatic atraumatic rotator cuff pathology.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Participants will be excluded if they have a full-thickness rotator cuff tear or other major shoulder pathology confirmed by imaging, are pregnant, or have undergone previous shoulder surgery on the affected side within the past 12 months. Individuals with a history of shoulder dislocation, fracture, or labral tear in the previous 12 months will also be excluded. Patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), defined as more than 50 restriction in passive range of motion, will not be included. Additional exclusion criteria include cervical radiculopathy or neurological disorders affecting upper limb function, systemic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, or uncontrolled metabolic disorders. Participants who have received physiotherapy treatment or corticosteroid injections for the affected shoulder within the last two months will also be excluded.
