Stopped: Due to the continuation of my PhD thesis process, patient admission will begin after the completion of my PhD graduation.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of motor imagery on muscle activity, pain, and function in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods: As a result of the power analysis (G-Power), 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups, each with at least 18 participants: Group 1 (MI group) and Group 2 (Control group) (Randomizer.org). Both groups will receive a 4-week physical therapy program. MI (Motor Imagination) group will receive a motor imagination program in addition to the physical therapy program. Data will collect using the visual analog scale (VAS), goniometric measurement, circumference measurement, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH), Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire- KVIQ-20, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, 3-question satisfaction questionnaire, superficial Electromyography (EMG) (BTS Bioengineering Free EMG 100 RT). Practice Implications: The current study will contribute to understanding how motor imagination affects muscle activity and muscle atrophy.
