Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected result 1- It is expected to find a improve in shoulder function assessed through the Constant-Murley in the participants of the specific exercise program compared to that of home exercises The function will be evaluated using the Constant-Murley questionnaire, which is one of the most widely used and recommended instruments for assessing shoulder function. taking into account the study of Henseler et al, we established as a clinically important minimum difference a difference of at least 17 points for the group treated with the specific exercise program. To detect this difference between both treatments, with a value of = 0.05 (probability of committing a type I error) and a statistical power of 90%, a minimum of 39 patients per group is required. We considered adjusting the sample size for possible losses or dropouts, increasing the number of patients recruited by 20%, with 47 patients remaining in each group. According to this, the authors of the present study have proposed as an experimental hypothesis that there is an increase of at least 17 points in the Constant-Murley questionnaire in the group treated with a specific exercise program compared to that of home exercises. | — |
