Le résumé fourni par la source

PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the reliability and quality of Turkish videos about frozen shoulder exercises published on the Youtube platform.Material-Method54 videos were included in the study as a result of searches and evaluations made on the YouTube platform using the keywords "frozen shoulder exercises" and "adhesive capsulitis exercises". The included videos were evaluated by two independent observers and a final independent 3rd observer, and the given modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), Global Quality Scale (GQS) and JAMA scores were compared with other video parameters. Differences between groups were examined.ResultExercises were detected in 10 different categories in the 54 videos included in the study. In the examination made according to GQS scoring, a statistically significant relationship was found between the viewing rate, mDISCERN and JAMA scores, the number of exercise types included in the video and the GQS quality grouping (p < 0.05). In the examination conducted in terms of reliability, a statistically significant relationship was found between mDISCERN scores and the number of exercise types included in the videos, JAMA and GQS scores (p < 0.05).ConclusionIn our study, more than half of the frozen shoulder exercise videos on the Youtube platform were found to be low in reliability and quality. Due to the variety of content in the videos and the lack of individualized exercises, YouTube does not appear to be a suitable resource for frozen shoulder exercises. Considering all these, we believe that videos with informative content should be created by physicians or should be audited.
