Brief summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of supervised exercise therapy with active soft tissue and joint mobilization. The effectiveness of telerehabilitation- active mobilization and exercises in the evaluation of pain and function in patients with subacromial pain syndrome will be examined and compared with face-to-face treatment, which is passive manual therapy.

Detailed description

Shoulder pain is common in the population. Various treatment modalities are used. Due to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the problems in patients' access to hospitals and rehabilitation services caused telerehabilitation to be on the agenda. Telerehabilitation can be summarized as the delivery of rehabilitation services to those in need by using communication technologies. This method covers the steps of evaluation, monitoring, prevention, intervention, control, training, and consultation. In addition, as a new treatment application, its effectiveness will be measured in patients with shoulder pain.

Interventions

The home exercise program includes an educational training program and posture correction exercises. The program includes stretching and strengthening exercises of the neck and shoulder complex.

Manual Therapy includes deep friction massage and myofascial relaxation techniques to shoulder and neck complex, active and resistant shoulder complex movements, shoulder complex mobilization, mobilization cervical joints. The home exercise program includes an educational training program and posture correction exercises. The program includes stretching and strengthening exercises of the neck and shoulder complex.

The telerehabilitation program applied to the same home exercise group. In addition, to the home exercises, these patients will apply active mobilization called self-mobilization. Self-myofascial release, active glenohumeral joint mobilization, thoracic mobilization, and active cervical mobilization.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline in range of motion of the shoulder at 8 weeks and 12 weeksBaseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeksRange of motion of the shoulder will be evaluated with a standard goniometer.
Change from Baseline in Pain at 8 weeks and 12 weeksChange from Baseline in Pain at 8 weeks and 12 weeksVisual Analog Scale will be used where patients will be asked to rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10 with 0 indicating no pain and 10 the maximum worst pain.
Change from Baseline in Short-Form Mcgill Pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ) at 8 weeks and 12 weeksBaseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeksThe McGill Pain questionnaire will be used to evaluate a person experiencing significant pain.. The pain rating index has 2 subscales: 1. Sensory subscale with 11 words 2. Affective subscale with 4 words from the original MPQ. These words or items are rated on an intensity scale as 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe.
Change from Baseline in Posture Analysis at 8 weeks and 12 weeksBaseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeksCorbin posture analysis will be used. This form include lateral and posterior analyzes. Physiotherapist marks between 0 = none 3= severe point to disorders. Total score will calculate excellent = 0-2 to Poor = 12 or more
Kibler classification for changes in position and scapular movements at 8 weeks and 12 weeksBaseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeksKibler classification will be use assessment of Scapular Dyskinesia. Identifying changes in position and scapular movements that predispose to shoulder injuries. Identifying the type of abnormal scapular movement: type I, type II and type III.
Lateral Scapular Slide test at 8 weeks and 12 weeksChange from Baseline in Lateral Scapulara Slide at 8 weeks and 12 weeksLateral Scapular Slide test will be use assessment of Scapular Dyskinesia. The Measurement should not vary more than 1 to 1.5 cm, more the 1.5 cm difference significant.
Change from Baseline in Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) at 8 weeks and 12 weeksBaseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeksGIRD is a condition resulting in the loss of internal rotation of the glenohumeral joint as compared to the contralateral side.
Change from Baseline in Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) at 8 weeks and 12 weeksBaseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeksQuickDASH will be used for assessing functional ability of the patients. The QuickDASH uses 11 items to measure physical function and symptoms in people with any or multiple musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb.
Change from Baseline in The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)at 8 weeks and 12 weeksBaseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeksThe SPADI will be used to assess shoulder pain and dysfunction. It consists of 13 items that assess two different areas. The first five items measure the pain, and the next eight items assess patient's disability.
Patient Satisfaction questionnaire at 8 weeks.8 weeksThe Patient Satisfaction questionnaire will be used to assess the patient's satisfaction with the treatment received. Patient Satisfaction questionnaire (PSQ) contains 18 items tapping each of the seven dimensions of satisfaction with medical care measured by the PSQ-18.
