Rotator Cuff Syndrome, Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, Shoulder Pain Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
The current study will help to determine the efficacy of a rehabilitation protocol that involves the use of eccentric contraction for patients with shoulder pain syndrome. This approach aims to improve recovery in terms of pain and function based on scientific evidence.
Interventions
A 6-week rehabilitation program, conducted for two sessions per week. Patients will receive specialized eccentric contraction exercises for the shoulder muscles, administered in addition to a standard physical therapy protocol.
A 6-week standard rehabilitation program, conducted for two sessions per week. Patients will receive Traditional physical therapy interventions only, which include ultrasound, range of motion (ROM) exercises, postural training and general strengthening routinely prescribed."
