Conditions

Rotator cuff injury

Interventions

Group A:Standardized routine rehabilitation treatment
Group B:On the basis of standardized conventional rehabilitation treatment, conventional shock wave therapy targeting the pain points of tendon attachment points is added
Group C:On the basis of standardized conventional rehabilitation treatment, targeted shock wave therapy is received for core muscle groups related to forward flexion and external rotation movements (s

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Confirmed as rotator cuff injury, partial thickness tear or non-calcified rotator cuff tendinopathy by musculoskeletal ultrasound or MRI; 2. Limited flexion, abduction, internal rotation and external rotation of the shoulder joint; 3.

Age: 30-70 years old 6. Sign the informed consent form and voluntarily participate in the research.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Full-thickness rotator cuff tear, subscapular muscle tear; 2. Combined with other shoulder joint diseases such as shoulder instability and fractures; 3. There are contraindications for shock waves such as bleeding tendency, acute infection and inflammation; 4. Has received corticosteroid injection, surgery or shock wave therapy for the affected shoulder joint within the past three months; 5. When entering this study, new drugs or new methods are used for treatment simultaneously, or other experiments are participated in at the same time; 6. Poor compliance and inability to fully participate in the implementation of the intervention plan.
