Brief summary

The main objective of the research is to study the effectiveness of an ambulatory rehabilitation program based on mobilization and muscular solicitation, during painful shoulders by full-thickness degenerative rupture of the tendons of the rotator cuff. , with the algo-functional state, ie pain and activity limitation, as judgment criteria, at 3 months.

Detailed description

Our hypothesis is that rehabilitation based on mobilization and muscular solicitation is effective in painful shoulder due to degenerative rupture of the tendons of the rotator cuff; that it reduces pain, functional limitation and the need for surgery. Research Excluding health products: Experimental group: Ambulatory rehabilitation program based on mobilization and muscular solicitation Control group: Ambulatory rehabilitation program using of ultrasound physiotherapy

Masking description

The experimental plan is that of therapeutic research. This is a multicenter, prospective, comparative, randomized patient study in 2 parallel arms (ratio 1: 1) in single blind, providing for 134 participants. They can provide an unbiased evaluation of the effect of this intervention, randomisation having the effect of eliminating any influence of the patient or the doctor on the allocation of the intervention and therefore of not guiding the selection of patients according to the intervention they will receive. Conducting a double-blind trial would be impossible here. The patient and the physiotherapist will be aware of the treatment arm to which the patient belongs. However, the evaluator (who is not the therapist) will not know the treatment arm and the patient will not know the hypothesis tested (effectiveness of the rehabilitation received by the experimental group).

Intervention model description

Experimental group: Ambulatory rehabilitation program based on mobilizations and muscular solicitations (muscle strengthening and dynamic humeral recentering), supervised by a physiotherapist, consisting of 15 individual sessions of 30 minutes each, spread over 8 weeks, according to a standardized program . Control group: Ambulatoryrehabilitation program, consisting of ultrasound physiotherapy, supervised by a physiotherapist, consisting of 15 individual sessions of 30 minutes each, spread over 8 weeks.
