In this prospective study, subjects older than 55 years with a degenerative asymptomatic rotator cuff tears will be followed for a period of 2 years. After testing, a symptom registration form will be filled in every 3 months. The test moment consists of pain measurements (pain pressure thresholds and conditioned pain modulation), biomechanical measurements (strength (including hand grip strength), range of motion, ultrasound (while measuring electromyographic activity) and shear wave elastography) and psychosocial measurements (psychosocial questionnaires).
