Summary

The aim of this trial is to develop and evaluate a web app to teach patients about how to correctly perform a tailored program of shoulder exercises. The exercise program will be evidence based, and there will be two groups in the study, both exercising. The follow up will be of 6 months.

Detailed description

The web app will consist of 3D multimedia animations (video and audio) which the patient will be able to access from any device with internet connection (cell phone included). The trial will include patients with shoulder pain because of rotator cuff tendinopathy. The investigators will carry on a pilot study with 100 patients randomly distributed into two groups, with 6 months follow up. Both groups will perform the same treatment, but the control group won´t use the exercise app. There will be four dependent variables: correct exercise performance, compliance degree, satisfaction with the treatment and expectations to improve with treatment. As secondary dependent variables will be analyzed pain (at rest, with movement and at night), functional disability (SPADI questionnaire), and patient´s assessment of app video characteristics (usability, utility and satisfaction) and co-interventions.
