Implication

Randomized trial compares digital rehabilitation to traditional exercises for chronic rotator cuff injury outcomes.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital rehabilitation system compared to traditional exercises following ultrasound-guided injections for chronic rotator cuff injuries.
Randomized controlled trial conducted at a single center with 60 participants (n=30 in each group)
Participants received either traditional rehabilitation or digital rehabilitation post-injection for 3 months
Outcomes assessed included the Constant-Murley Score, UCLA Shoulder Scale, and range of motion at baseline and follow-ups.
Group D had a greater improvement in Constant-Murley Score with HLE -6 (95% CI -10 to -2; P=.007)
Group D also showed significant improvements in UCLA Shoulder Scale score (HLE -2, 95% CI -4 to -1; P=.001) and Numerical Rating Scale score (HLE 1, 95% CI 0-2; P=.002)
Range of motion improvements were greater in group D, particularly in abduction (Δ group C=20.7 and Δ group D=30.5).
