The aim of the present clinical trial was to compare the clinical results of the use of an exercise program with those of an exercise program and thermal (thermia or hyperthermia) mode of 448 kHz Capacitive Resistive Monopolar Radiofrequency in continuous wave in patients with chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy. Patients were allocated to two groups by drawing lots. Pain, function and strength were measured. An exercise programme and thermal (thermia or hyperthermia) mode of 448 kHz Capacitive Resistive Monopolar Radiofrequency in continuous wave, had reduced the pain and improved function and strength in patients with chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy at the end of the treatment and at the follow-ups. Future well-designed randomised controlled clinical trials are needed to establish the effectiveness 448 kHz Capacitive Resistive Monopolar Radiofrequency in the management of chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Background and objectives: The long head of the biceps (LHB) and rotator cuff tendinopathy is the major cause of shoulder pain in competitive swimmers. The risk of tendinopathy increases with aging; however, the structural changes of LHB and rotator cuff in populations of masters swimmers have not been well examined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of ultrasonographic abnormalities of the shoulders in masters swimmers, and the association of pain, age, and swim training with structural changes in this population. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 subjects participated in this study, with 20 masters swimmers with shoulder pain, 20 asymptomatic masters swimmers, and 20 sex- and age-matched controls. All swimmers completed a self-reported questionnaire for shoulder pain, their history of competition, and training volume. Each subject underwent ultrasonographic examination of both shoulders for pathologic findings in the LHB tendon, rotator cuff (supraspinatus (SSP) and subscapularis (SSC)) tendons, and subacromial bursa (SAB) of both shoulders and had thickness measured. Results: The prevalence of tendinosis (LHB, 48.8%; SSP, 17.5%; SSC, 15.9%), partial tear (SSP, 35.0%), and calcification (SSC, 10.0%) were higher in swimmers than in controls. LHB and SSP tendinosis were associated with shoulder pain. Older age and later start of competition were associated with an increased risk of LHB tendinosis and SSC calcification. Earlier initiation of swimming and longer history of competition were associated with an increased risk of SSP and SSC tendinosis. The thicker SSP tendon significantly increased the risk of tendinosis and partial tear. Conclusions: A high prevalence of structural changes in the rotator cuff and biceps tendons in masters swimmers reflects the effect of shoulder symptoms, aging, and swim training.
