Both groups received an identical 8-week exercise programme delivered through their assigned platform. The programme included scapular mobilization, range-of-motion, strengthening, and stretching exercises. The primary outcomes were pain level (Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]), disability (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand [DASH] score), quality of life (Short Form-36 Health Survey [SF-36] score), and shoulder mobility (universal goniometer). The assessments were carried out at baseline, after the treatment (week 8) and at a follow-up of 16 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The mean participant age was 51.8 years (SD 9.24), with 27% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200923) male. No significant between-group differences were observed for pain (VAS) or shoulder mobility (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009>\u2009.05 for both). However, a significant group-by-time interaction effect was found for disability, measured by the DASH score (\n F<\/jats:italic>\n (1,83)\u2009=\u200910.56,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.001), and quality of life, measured by the SF-36 overall score (excluding physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, and social function) (Vitality\/Energy:\n F<\/jats:italic>\n (1,83)\u2009=\u20097.34,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.006; Pain:\n F<\/jats:italic>\n (1,83)\u2009=\u20094.78,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.034; General Health:\n F<\/jats:italic>\n (1,83)\u2009=\u20094.82,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.032). Post-hoc analysis indicated significant improvements in disability and quality of life scores in the synchronous VC-TR group compared to the asynchronous mHealth-TR group. Specifically, DASH scores in the synchronous group decreased by 9.41 points (95% CI: 3.46 to 15.36,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.002) from baseline to after treatment, and by 9.34 points (95% CI: 3.48 to 15.20,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.002) by the 16th week. For quality of life, the VC-TR group showed significant improvements in the Vitality\/Energy, Pain, and General Health domains from baseline to follow-up, with mean differences of 6.41, 11.68, and 10.83, respectively (all\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion<\/jats:title>\n This study suggests that patients with RC tendinopathy may experience greater improvements in pain management, disability, and overall quality of life through synchronous VC-TR compared to asynchronous mHealth-TR.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1357633x251326753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,28]],"date-time":"2025-03-28T17:11:38Z","timestamp":1743181898000},"page":"129-141","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A randomized controlled trial: Mobile app vs videoconference telerehabilitation for rotator cuff tendinopathy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Eren","family":"Timurta\u015f","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2760-4130","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Halit","family":"Sel\u00e7uk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trakya University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2024-4104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G\u00f6k\u00e7e","family":"Kartal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0130lk\u015fan","family":"Demirb\u00fcken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mine G\u00fclden","family":"Polat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinbiomech.2010.08.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sae.12028"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"The effectiveness of exercise therapy in the treatment of rotator cuff tendinopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"1","author":"Almureef SS","year":"2023","unstructured":"Almureef SS, Alamri YH, AlMutairi AH.
