RCRSP における痛み、機能、自己効力感、満足度に対する治療環境の影響

Group 1 will receive treatment in a physiotherapy unit which has following characteristics ; enlightened with sunlight, has a view of green trees and includes other participants exercising. This enviroment also had an intrumental music playing in the background. Patients will receive a treatment consisting of patient education, exercise therapy and cold application for a total of 15 sessions, 3 times a week. Each session will last approximately 60 minutes. After the patient education and exercise therapy is completed, the participants will rest for 15 minutes of cold application.

It includes evaluation of the treatment process and past sessions. Simple shoulder biomechanics, function, and what caused the injury were explained to the patients. In order to increase patients' participation in treatment, it was emphasized what the treatment does and that the patient should cooperate in order to heal. During their treatment, patients are instructed to regulate their daily living activities, avoid overhead and repetitive movements of the arm, bags weighing more than 2-3 kg, etc. It was recommended not to carry them. Patients were informed about alternative sleeping positions.

Participants in both groups were included in a structured exercise program consisting of exercises recommended in the literature. This exercise program includes joint range of motion exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises and was carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 6 weeks. Joint range of motion and strengthening exercises are recommended as 3 sets of 10 repetitions, and stretching exercises are recommended as 5 repetitions for 20 seconds. Exercises appropriate to the patients' clinical conditions and progression were selected by the physiotherapist and included in the program.

Following each exercise treatment, cold-pack will be applied for 15 minutes. During col-pack application, patients in the Group 1 group will listen to classical music selected by us, while patients in the Group 2 will rest quietly. There are a total of 40 songs by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Andre Rieu on our CD player, and patients have the right to choose and listen to the song they want.

Group 2 will receive treatment in a quiet single room. The room is illuminated by artificial light, curtains are closed so that patients cannot see outside view. Patients will receive a treatment consisting of patient education, exercise therapy and cold application for a total of 15 sessions, 3 times a week. Each session will last approximately 60 minutes. After the patient education and exercise therapy is completed, the participants will rest silently for 15 minutes of cold application.

Participants' pain at rest, at night and during activity was measured using the NPRS. The NPRS is an 11-point scale that can be scored from 0 to 10. A score of zero (0) indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates score defines "the most severe pain". The patient will be asked to mark shoulder pain on the scale

Q-DASH is a questionnaire developed to assess upper extremity functioning and symptoms based on self-report of patients. The total score of the scale ranges from 0-100 points and similar to SPADI, a high score is considered as high functional disability.

WORC is a functional test which consists of 5 sections and a total of 21 questions assessing the physical symptoms, sports/leisure time activities, work, lifestyle, emotions that are affected by the shoulder problem. Each question is rated on a scale of 0-100 mm. Patients are scored between 0 and 2100 in total, with 2100 being the worst score.

The Pain and Self-Efficacy Questionnaire consists of 10 questions and it assesses multiple domains of self-efficacy related to social and physical functioning. Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert-type scale (0: I am not at all confident, 6: I am completely confident). The total score ranges from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy for functioning despite pain.

The Global Rating of Change (GRC) is specifically designed to determine the impact of an intervention in musculoskeletal problems, to chart the clinical course of a condition and to measure a patient's improvement or deterioration over time. When using the GRC scale, the patient being assessed must have a certain cognitive level because the patient's ability to recall and measure the pre-treatment state is required. In our study, a scale consisting of 5 levels will be used (-2: much worse, -1: worse, 0: same, 1: better, 2: much better).
