SUMMARY

Rotator cuff syndrome is one of the most common problems in the shoulder, starting as acute tendinopathy and progressing to partial and full thickness tears. Shoulder pain causes a decrease in shoulder joint movement, joint position sense, upper extremity function and quality of life. Among the most commonly used conservative treatment methods; Joint range of motion exercises, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, mobilization and electrotherapy method are included. Nowadays, with the widespread use of technology in rehabilitation, video-based games have begun to be used for rehabilitative purposes in addition to conservative approaches. Although the effectiveness of video-based games has been extensively studied in diseases such as cerebral palsy, stroke and parkinsonism, there are a limited number of studies in the field of orthopedic rehabilitation, especially in shoulder rehabilitation. Basic body awareness therapy is used to treat chronic musculoskeletal-related painful conditions. In the literature, basic body awareness therapy has been studied in patient groups such as mental health, stroke patient groups, chronic musculoskeletal problems, chronic waist and neck pain, scoliosis and knee osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that the TBFT method provides improvements in individuals' body awareness, mobility in daily living activities, health-related quality of life, body image and pain intensity. However, no studies have been found in which basic body awareness therapy was used in the field of shoulder rehabilitation. Our study aims to compare the effectiveness of a rehabilitative game exercise program and body awareness training in terms of pain, joint range of motion, shoulder functionality, proprioception, body awareness, shoulder-related quality of life, kinesiophobia and patient satisfaction in individuals with Rotator cuff syndrome.

Active_comparator: Control Group
Conventional exercise training will be given to the control group for 6 weeks, 5 days a week, for 45 minutes. Conventional exercises will be applied to this group under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 5 days in our unit.
Experimental: Body Awareness Training Group
After the first evaluation, the training group will be given basic body awareness exercise training for 6 weeks, 2 days a week, for 45 minutes. This group will be given to basic body awareness exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 2 days in our unit. Individuals in this group will be applied basic body awareness exercisea program in addition to conventional exercises.
Experimental: Rehabilitative Game Exercise Group
Individuals in this group will be applied a video-based rehabilitative game exercise program in addition to conventional exercises. A digital game network called 'Active Arcade Game' will be used for rehabilitative game exercises. Rehabilitative Game Exercise Group for 6 weeks, 2 days a week, for 45 minutes. This group will be given to basic body awareness exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 2 days in our unit.
