All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients of both genders 2. Over 18 years old 2. Complaint of shoulder pain with at least 1 month of duration undergoing arthroscopy surgery

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Cognitive alterations of the patient that prevents comprehension of the proposed treatment 2. Lack of outpatient return; image examination with more than three months of clinical evaluation of the patient 3.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Supraspinatus tendon tears are measured using arthroscopy findings and comparing to the magnetic resonance image and ultrasonography. Tears are classified as tendinopathy, partial tears or full thickness tears.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Level of pain is measured using the visual analogue scale after performing the empty can test (Jobe test) 2. Correlation of the location and size of the supraspinatus lesion with the clinical tests is measured using arthroscopy findings
