Brief Summary:
The main hypothesis of the study is that telerehabilitation is an effective treatment method and it is not inferior than standard physiotherapy.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients with subacromial pain syndrome by comparing it with standard physiotherapy.
Detailed Description:
Subacromial pain syndrome formerly known as subacromial impingement syndrome is the cause of approximately 44% to 65% of pain complaints related to the shoulder. Methods such as immobilization, drug therapy, injection techniques, physical therapy modalities and therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, acupuncture and surgery can be used in the treatment of the disease. Due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that started in Wuhan province of China in December 2019, the problems in patients' access to hospitals and rehabilitation services caused telerehabilitation to be on the agenda. Telerehabilitation can be summarized as the delivery of rehabilitation services to those in need by using communication technologies. This method covers the steps of evaluation, monitoring, prevention, intervention, control, training, and consultation. Although there are many studies on the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in the literature, there is no study on the superiority of telerehabilitation, physical therapy under supervision and home exercise program over each other.
