Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Serious-Game Exercise (SGE) platform on pain, range of motion (ROM), joint position sense, shoulder functions, and approximation force in patients with rotator cuff rupture. In addition, another objective is to evaluate the usage of balance board as a measurement tool for measuring the approximation force in the rotator cuff rupture.

Detailed description

Purpose: To examine the effect of Serious-Game Exercise (SGE) platform on pain, range of motion (ROM), joint position sense, shoulder functions, and approximation force in patients with rotator cuff rupture. In addition, another objective is to evaluate the usage of balance board as a measurement tool for measuring the approximation force in the rotator cuff rupture. Method: Twenty patients with rotator cuff rupture will be included in the study. They will be divided into two groups as a serious game group (SGG) and a conventional exercise group (CEG) with a randomization method. The Serious game exercise program developed for shoulder rehabilitation will be applied to the SG group and conventional exercise training will be applied to the CEG. Pain severity, flexion, abduction and external rotation ROM, functionality, joint position sense, and approximation force of all individuals will be evaluated pre and post-treatment. SGG and CEG underwent serious games and conventional therapy twice a week for 6 weeks, respectively.

Conditions

• Serious Game
• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Rehabilitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	ConventioanalExercises	Wand exercises and shoulder wheel exercises to increase the range of motion of the shoulder joint with 10 repetitions will be applied in CEG. Finger ladder exercises will be performed in the abduction and flexion position with 5 repetitions, holding the endpoint for 5 seconds. Stretching exercises with 5 repetitions will be applied in all directions for the limitation of movement, holding it for 20 seconds at the endpoint. Individuals performed conventional exercises twice a week for 6 weeks.
OTHER	Serious games	A Serious game program will be applied to the individuals twice a week for 6 weeks in this group. Armrotate, Uball, Balance Surf and Balance Adventure games will be developed by Becure company for shoulder rehabilitation. These games developed for shoulder rehabilitation will be applied to individuals under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Each game will be played for 10 minutes, for a total of 40 minutes.
