Central Neuromuscular Dysfunction, Functionality, Psychological Status and Rotator Cuff Surgery

Plain-language summary
Considering the fact that The problems experienced by the patients are not only physiological but also psychological and social. Unfortunately, there is no sufficient study focus on all these concepts.
Generally, studies focus on only physiological dimensions such as functional level, muscle strength and pain. The aim of this study, in addition to assessment methods commonly used for functional level, muscle strength and pain, is to evaluate central neuromuscular function on individuals who have undergone rotator cuff tear surgery with transcranial magnetic stimulation. Furthermore, psychological resilience, which is considered as a positive psychological trait, will also be evaluated. Until now, only one study has evaluated the role of psychological resilience in the postoperative process of rotator cuff surgery. This study has shown that the correlation between functionality and psychological resilience. As a result of our study, the influence of resiliency on postoperative outcomes following rotator cuff surgery will be determined and central neuromuscular function, shoulder functional level, and psychological resilience changes will be revealed in physiological and psychological concepts.
Furthermore, this study may show that psychological resilience has a potential role on predicting functional level and pain.
It is planned that the results obtained will guide the postoperative rehabilitation of rotator cuff surgery for further studies on multidimensional perspectives.
