Brief Summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a dual-task-based exercise program on clinical outcomes in individuals with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. The study will evaluate the effects of a dual-task exercise approach, in which physical exercises are performed concurrently with cognitive tasks, on pain, functional status, pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia. These results will be compared with those of a standard shoulder rehabilitation program. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Is there a difference in pain levels between individuals with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain who participate in a dual-task-based exercise program and those who participate in a standard exercise program? * Is there a difference between these two exercise approaches in terms of shoulder function and psychosocial factors? Participants will: * Participate in either a dual-task-based shoulder exercise program or a standard shoulder exercise program twice per week for 6 weeks. * Undergo clinical assessments at baseline, at week 6, and at week 12.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged between 18 and 65 years * Diagnosis of impingement syndrome, subacromial bursitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, or partial rotator cuff tear * Shoulder pain level ≥3 according to the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) * Shoulder pain persisting for at least 3 months Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of shoulder instability, adhesive capsulitis, or full-thickness or massive rotator cuff tear * Presence of musculoskeletal, neurological, and/or psychological conditions that would prevent participation in an exercise program * History of shoulder surgery * Having received physiotherapy or corticosteroid injection treatment for shoulder pain within the past 6 months * Presence of cognitive impairment that would prevent participation in dual-task exercise activities
