Isometric versus isotonic exercise in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy—Effects on shoulder pain, functioning, muscle strength, and electromyographic activity: A protocol for randomized clinical trial

Introduction: Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a common shoulder disorder in which the primary treatment is resistance exercises. Isometric exercises are being studied for lower limb tendinopathies but not for rotator cuff tendinopathy. This protocol for a randomized clinical trial aims to compare th…
