supraspinatus tendon injuries
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1:Interferential electricity, ultrashort wave, warm heat therapy, 5 times a week for 6 weeks
Group 2:ESWT pressure was set at 2.0-3.5 bar, plus or minus as appropriate according to the participants tolerance level, and the frequency was fixed at 8 Hz with 2000 pulses at 7-day intervals for 6

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Age 18-65 years; 2. Unilateral shoulder pain lasting at least 4 weeks with limited or unrestricted shoulder range of motion (ROM); 3. A diagnosis of supraspinatus tendon injury or partial tear on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan using contrast enhancement that reveals abnormal supraspinatus tendon morphology and changes in signal intensity; 4. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography confirming injury to the supraspinatus muscle on the affected side, while the contralateral side was unaffected; 5. No contraindications to ESWT and application of physical factor therapy; 6. Participants volunteered to participate in the study and signed and personally dated an informed consent form.
