Therapeutic exercises in the clinical practice of Brazilian physical therapists in the management of rotator cuff tendinopathy: An online survey.

The objective of this study was to investigate how Brazilian physical therapists (PTs) use therapeutic exercises in the rehabilitation of individuals with rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy. The study used an online survey with a mix of 62 open- and closed-ended questions divided into three sections: participant demographics, professional experience, and clinical practice in the rehabilitation of patients with RC tendinopathy. One hundred and fifty-nine Brazilian physical therapists completed the survey.

Rotator cuff isometric exercises in combination with scapular muscle strengthening and stretching in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy: A multiple-subject case report.

Background And Purpose: To assess the effects of a rehabilitation protocol of rotator cuff (RC) isometrics coupled with traditional shoulder exercises on patient-rated outcomes, muscle strength, and electromyographic activity in individuals with RC tendinopathy.

Methods: Eleven individuals (8 women and 3 men, 37.9 ± 5.

Isometric versus isotonic exercise in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy-Effects on shoulder pain, functioning, muscle strength, and electromyographic activity: A protocol for randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a common shoulder disorder in which the primary treatment is resistance exercises. Isometric exercises are being studied for lower limb tendinopathies but not for rotator cuff tendinopathy. This protocol for a randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effects of two types of exercise (isometric and isotonic) on shoulder pain, functioning, muscle strength, and electromyographic activity in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
