Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with shoulder pain and MRI-confirmed
rotator cuff tendinosis, will have their pain and function improved when treated with daily
use of a dynamic elastic garment along with a corticosteroid injection, when compared to
those patients who receive a corticosteroid injection alone. To our knowledge this is the
first study to evaluate the use of a dynamic elastic garment on shoulders.
- Group A: Control group, will receive and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection
alone.
- Group B: Intervention, ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection and scheduled use of a
dynamic elastic garment, by IntelliSkin.
- Group C: Intervention corticosteroid injection and scheduled use of a Dynamic elastic
garment, by AlignMed Posture Shirt 2.0.
