Conditions

Rotator Cuff Injury

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether balance training is effective in patients with rotator cuff disease.

Interventions

OTHERRehabilitation and balance training

Stretching will be applied as hold-relax technique in Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation for shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotations. Isotonic exercises will be done with elastic bands for strengthening. Home exercises will include postural, stretching and strengthening exercises. Balance exercises will receive as non-supervised program.

OTHERRehabilitation program

Rehabilitation program will be same in this group except balance exercises.
