The Effectiveness of an Upper Extremity Neuromuscular Training Program on the Shoulder Function of Military Members With a Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Shoulder pain, a leading reason to consult a physician or physiotherapist, continues to be a challenge to rehabilitate, particularly with a military population. A rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy, the most important source of shoulder pain, is one of the leading reasons for sick leave or a discharge from active military service. Research encourages the use of exercise prescription for the management of a RC tendinopathy, however the ideal method of delivery (group setting versus one-on-one) remains uncertain. The purpose of this single-blind (evaluator) pilot randomized clinical trial was to compare two 6-week rehabilitation programs, a newly developed group-supervised neuromuscular training program and usual one-on-one physiotherapy care, on the pain and symptoms of Can
