The Effectiveness of an Upper Extremity Neuromuscular Training Program on the Shoulder Function of Military Members With a Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
Conclusions: Our preliminary data demonstrates that both rehabilitation approaches, grounded in active exercises, were not statistically different from each other, and derived similar benefits over time for a military population. This suggests that a group intervention for a RC tendinopathy has potential to be just as effective as a one-on-one approach for a military population, an interesting avenue for an active working population. Larger sample sizes and further investigation are warranted regarding the cost and clinical resource benefits of a supervised group approach.
