What this Trial Is About
Rotator cuff lesions are common musculoskeletal problems that often cause pain, reduce function, and lower quality of life, especially as people age due to degenerative changes in tendon structure. Researchers are exploring how core stability, which supports the spine and improves joint strength and endurance, relates to reaction time and hand-eye coordination in people with these lesions. This study aims to compare these factors between individuals with rotator cuff lesions and those without shoulder problems. Participants are divided into two groups: one with rotator cuff lesions and a control group of asymptomatic individuals matched by age, sex, and education. There is no treatment given; instead, participants undergo various assessments to measure core stability, reaction time, hand-eye coordination, pain, and functional status. These assessments include tests like the modified "Biering-Sorensen" test, trunk flexors endurance test, lateral bridge test, prone bridge test, modified push-ups, sit-ups, reaction time tests, Hand-Wall Toss Test, Visual Analogue Scale for pain, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. During the study, participants complete all these tests at baseline to evaluate their physical abilities and symptoms. The research team collects data on core endurance and motor function to understand how rotator cuff lesions may affect these areas. The study includes adults aged 18 to 65 years, and the total participation involves the completion of these assessments without any intervention or treatment. The findings will help clarify the relationship between core stability and motor functions in affected individuals compared to healthy controls.
