While exercise therapy is often recommended for RCRSP, the relationship between physical activity levels and symptoms related to quality-of-life (QoL) is unclear. This study investigated: i) whether higher physical activity levels were related to better self-reported QoL outcomes and ii) whether those who self-reported participation in exercises that target their painful shoulder have better self-reported QoL outcomes than those who report primarily whole-body exercise. 46 participants with RCRSP completed 16 self-reported QoL questionnaires.
