Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of three different exercise programs for treating rotator cuff tendinopathy and shoulder impingement syndrome in patients with shoulder pain lasting over three months.
- All three exercise programs—open chain, closed chain, and minimally loaded range of movement—showed significant improvements in pain and disability, with no major differences in outcomes among the groups.
- While the closed chain group had a higher dropout rate, those who completed the treatment in that group reported more meaningful reductions in symptoms, suggesting all programs can be beneficial but individual experiences may vary.
