Objective: To examine the effectiveness of video-based game exercises and structured closed kinetic chain exercises in individuals with rotator cuff rupture. Materials and Methods: Forty-five individuals with rotator cuff rupture were included in this study. Individuals were randomly divided into three groups: a conventional exercise group (CEG), a structured closed kinetic chain exercise group (CKCEG), and a video-based game exercise group (VGEG). Interventions were performed twice a week for 6 weeks. Pain severity; pain threshold; disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand questionnaire (DASH); rotator cuff quality of life index (RCQOL); range of motion (ROM); and joint position sense and approximation force of all individuals were evaluated pre- and post-treatment. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in all values of the pre- and post-treatment of the groups ( P < 0.05). When the differences between the groups were compared, CKCEG and VGEG values were more significant than CEG in all parameters ( P < 0.017). Improvements in pain threshold, ROM in shoulder flexion and abduction, DASH score, and all parameters of the RCQOL questionnaire in VGEG were statistically more significant than CKCEG ( P < 0.017). Conclusion: Individuals with rotator cuff rupture obtained more improvements in primary and secondary outcomes after closed kinetic chain exercise and video-based game exercise, rather than conventional methods. It was considered that video-based game exercise programs would be used in rotator cuff problems. |
