Summary
Shoulder issues in middle-aged and elderly folks often stem from muscle and tendon degeneration, causing pain and limited movement. Current treatments like corticosteroid injections provide short-term relief for synovial bursitis, prompting repetitive injections. Combining these injections with resistance exercises, especially elastic bands, might extend relief. A study aims to test this by giving injections and a 12-week elastic band exercise program to one group, compared to injections alone in another. Assessments at 4, and 12 weeks post-injection will measure pain, motion, and functionality. Successful results could redefine treatment, reducing repetitive injections and enhancing life quality for those with shoulder problems.
