Brief summary
EFFECTS OF TENDON NEUROPLASTIC TRAINING ON PAIN, RANGE OF MOTION AND DISABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH ROTATOR CUFF TENDINOPATHY
Detailed description
Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a condition where the shoulder's tendon suffers small tears or inflammation, often causing pain frequently arises from repetitive overuse or the natural aging process Regular overhead activities can aggravate the shoulder's wear and tear, leading to tendinosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the impact of tendon neuroplastic training with standard treatments on pain levels, functional disability, and the range of motion in patients suffering from rotator cuff tendinopathy. Data were collected from Riphah rehabilitation clinic Lahore. Nprs , goinmeter and Spadi questioner were used before and after the intervention. Assessment was done through the tool before and after the treatment.
Interventions
Throughout the training, participants pain, range of motion and disability were monitored and they were asked to report any discomfort or unusual sign.
OTHERconventional training

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric pain rate scale (NPRS) | 6 weeks | Patient level of pain will be assessed using this scale. This scale ranges from 0 to 10. 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst pain. |
| Shoulder pain and disability index (spadi) | 6 weeks | Patient level of disability will be assessed using this scale. This ranges from 0 to 100. 0 indicates no disability and 100 indicates disability |
| Universal Goniometer (UG) | 6 weeks | It will measure range of motion of shoulder |
