Effect of Isometric Exercise on Pain Perception in Subjects With Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Supra-threshold isometric exercise and Infra-threshold isometric exercise for Rotator Cuff Tendinitis. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effects of an acute bout of isometric exercise of the shoulder external rotator muscles above and below pain threshold on pain intensity, pain threshold, conditioned pain modulation and pain free force in external rotation. To evaluate the results of the exercise, the subjects will be assessed at pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention and after and 45 minutes after each experimental condition.

Timeline
Interventions
The supra-threshold intensity will be stablished at 120% of participant's PFIS pre-session measurement (20% above the individual's pain threshold).
The infra-threshold intensity will be stablished at 80% of participant's PFIS pre-session measurement (20% bellow the individual's pain threshold).
