Effectiveness of Progressive Reload Exercises and Conventional Strengthening Exercises for Individuals with Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
摘要
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Progressive reloading exercises (GROUP A) and conventional strengthening exercises (GROUP B) in managing pain and improving isometric strength in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy. A total of 40 participants with confirmed rotator cuff tendinopathy were selected randomly to each group a gradual reloading exercise group or a conventional strengthening exercise group for a 4-week intervention period. Pain was evaluated using the Numeric pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and shoulder isometric strength by (Hand-Held Dynamometer).The post-test mean value of NPRS in group A was 2.05 and group B was 3.95. The post means value of HHD in the group A was 16.930, 13.432, 14.960 and group B was 14.115, 11.215, 13.095 Thus, the group A had a high statistical difference from the group B. These findings suggest that progressive reloading exercises may offer superior outcomes for pain management and functional performance in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The study highlights the potential benefits of incorporating progressive reloading techniques into rehabilitation programs for more effective treatment of this condition. Further research is recommended to evaluate long-term outcomes and the integration of these exercises into comprehensive treatment plans.
