Does Providing Instructional Exercise Videos Increase Patient Adherence Compared to In-office Instruction by Physician When Using Eccentric Exercises to Treat Shoulder Pain in Adults?
Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups using a random number generator.
Group 1 will be provided with in-office instruction of standard of care eccentric exercises
for rotator cuff tendinopathy. Group 2 will be provided with in-office instruction as well
as a instructional exercise video source (DVD) to take home as a reminder on how to perform
two specific standard of care eccentric exercises for rotator cuff tendinopathy. Each group
will be given a card to track adherence to the standard of care eccentric exercise routine
as measured only by the days that they accomplish their exercises. Study exercise diary will
be collected after 12 weeks of treatment. Eccentric exercises are taught as part of standard
of care for rotator cuff tendinopathy.

DoD beneficiaries age 18 or older will be recruited from the clinics at the Mike O'Callaghan
Federal Medical Center (MOFMC). Subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be
offered an opportunity to participate:
Screening Visit:
- Obtain signed Informed Consent Document and HIPAA Authorization.
- Verify inclusion/exclusion criteria
Visit 1 (may occur same day as Screening Visit):
- Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups by the Research Coordinator
using a random number generator, thus the Investigators will be blinded to the group
assignments:
- Group 1: in-office instruction of the standard of care eccentric exercise regimen
for rotator cuff tendinopathy.
- Group 2: in-office instruction of the standard of care eccentric exercise regimen
for rotator cuff tendinopathy and an instructional exercise video source (DVD).
- Subjects will be given a study exercise diary to track adherence to the standard of
care eccentric exercise routine.
Visit 2 (12 weeks post Visit 1):
• Study exercise diary will be collected to assess adherence. If the subject is unable to
come in, they can return the study exercise diary via mail, or electronic mail.
