A study was performed among patients with a rotator cuff shoulder injury. Patients were randomized to receive either a specific yoga maneuver (called the active group), or a sham yoga maneuver (called the control group). What was the purpose of this study?
1) To compare the effectiveness of the specific yoga maneuver and the sham yoga maneuver in treating rotator cuff shoulder injuries
2) To determine if yoga can help improve shoulder mobility in patients with rotator cuff injuries
3) To investigate the potential benefits of yoga in reducing pain and inflammation in patients with rotator cuff injuries
4) To assess the impact of yoga on overall quality of life in patients with rotator cuff injuries
