Establishing Clinical Significance in Rotator Cuff Disease

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Exercise: Patients with rotator cuff disease will receive exercise treatment for two months.

Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about rotator cuff patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the minimal clinically important difference value of the Shoulder Disability Questionnaire, the short version of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index, the Shoulder Rating Questionnaire, and the University of California-Los Angeles Shoulder Scale?
* What is the substantial clinical benefit value of the Shoulder Disability Questionnaire, the short version of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index, the Shoulder Rating Questionnaire, and the University of California-Los Angeles Shoulder Scale?
* What is the patient-acceptable symptomatic state value of the Shoulder Disability Questionnaire, the short version of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index, the Shoulder Rating Questionnaire, and the University of California-Los Angeles Shoulder Scale?
* What is the maximal outcome improvement value of the Shoulder Disability Questionnaire, the short version of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index, the Shoulder Rating Questionnaire, and the University of California-Los Angeles Shoulder Scale?
* What are the risk factors that prevent rotator cuff patients from reaching the minimal clinically important difference value?
* What are the risk factors that prevent rotator cuff patients from reaching the substantial clinical benefit value?
* What are the risk factors that prevent rotator cuff patients from reaching the patient-acceptable symptomatic state value?
* What are the risk factors that prevent rotator cuff patients from reaching the maximal outcome improvement value?

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Functional level — before the treatment and within 1 week after 2 months of treatment
  Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (total score between 0-100) (higher values indicate higher disability)
• Functional level — before the treatment and within 1 week after 2 months of treatment
  The short version of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (total score between 0-100) (higher values indicate higher functional level)
• Functional level — before the treatment and within 1 week after 2 months of treatment
  Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (total score between 17-100) (higher values indicate higher functional level)
• Functional level — before the treatment and within 1 week after 2 months of treatment
  The University of California-Los Angeles Shoulder Scale (total score between 0-100) (higher values indicate higher functional level)
