Abstract
Background. Knowing the effects of neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES) and exercise used in shoulder rehabilitation on muscle architecture, pain, muscle strength and quality of life will enable a more accurate and effective treatment plan for patients with rotator cuff tendinopathies (RCT). The aim of this prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled study was to evaluate the effects of NMES combined with conventional therapy in patients with (RCT).
