Brief summary
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is telerehabilitation effective in improving the functional status of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy? * Is telerehabilitation effective in reducing the pain of rotator cuff patients?
Detailed description
Patients between the ages of 18-65 who were diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinopathy will be included in the study. Patients will be divided into two groups. Patients in group 1 will be given a home exercise program. Then, the patients will be called 3 times a week and it will be evaluated whether they do their exercises regularly and whether they do it correctly. At the end of the first month, the patients will be evaluated again for functionality and pain. The patients in group 2 will be given a home exercise program and at the end of the first month, the patients will be evaluated again in terms of functionality and pain.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index | one month | Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index is a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire, evaluating the change in symptoms and functional ability, specific to a Rotator Cuff tendinopathy. Raw scores range from 0 to 2100 with a higher score indicating decreased quality of life. |
| Simple Shoulder Test | one month | A questionnaire about the function of the involved shoulder. Overall scored is calculated by number of yes/number of completed items. Minimum score is 0 %and maximum is 100 %. Higher scores indicate better function. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Range of motion | one month | Shoulder joint normal range of motion will be measured using a goniometer. Normal movements of the shoulder joint are flexion 180 degrees, abduction 180 degrees, hyperextension 45 degrees, internal rotation 70 degrees and external rotation 90 degrees. Limitations will be evaluated. |
