Özet:

 Objective: Our study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of adding telerehabilitation TR to a home exercise program HEP in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. Patients and Methods: The study included 45 patients diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinopathy and randomly assigned into two groups. The control group was given a HEP, while the study group received the same program supplemented with TR and following the intervention, patients shoulder joint range of motion ROM was assessed with a goniometer, and functionality was evaluated using the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index WORC and the Simple Shoulder Test SST. Results: In intra-group assessments, there was a significant decrease in the WORC physical symptoms subscale in the TR group at the follow-up assessment p0.001, whereas no significant difference was found in the HEP group p0.189. Regarding the total SST score, an increase was seen in the TR group post-treatment p0.001, while no difference was found in the HEP group p0.373. Upon comparing TR and HEP, including increased active abduction of the right shoulder, as well as active flexion, abduction, and external rotation of the left shoulder, the two groups groups showed that TR group patients had significantly better results than HEP group patients in WORC and SST p0.007 and p0.007 respectively. Conclusion: The results of our study indicate that following a HEP with TR enhances shoulder mobility and functionality more effectively than the HEP alone in patients with rotator cuff pathology.
