This study looks at how the brain and muscles work, along with mood and pain, in people after rotator cuff surgery for a major tear. It may help researchers understand recovery problems and psychological effects that can happen after surgery.
This study looks at the thickness of forearm muscles and tendons in people with shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems, compared to people without shoulder pain. The goal is to see if there are differences that could help with diagnosis or treatment.
This study looks at whether core muscle strength (the muscles in your belly and lower back) is affected in people with a partially torn rotator cuff in one shoulder. If you join, you will help researchers understand this connection, which might lead to better recovery programs.
