Rotator Cuff Syndrome and Current Approaches in Treatment

Abstract

Rotator cuff syndrome is a common health problem causing serious physical, psychological and material losses. Since the treatment process is long and difficult and the treatment costs are increasing, a lot of research is done especially on risk factors. Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors are among the underlying causes. Although some of these factors could be changed, most of them are unchangeable factors due to anatomical structure and functions. Therefore, it is very important to determine these factors in advance and apply preventive treatments. In this study, it is reviewed to give information about the studies on rotator cuff syndrome risk factors and treatment approaches.
