    Tendinopathy is an injury that affects the tendons and is characterized by the presence of pain and dysfunction. One of the most prevalent pathologies associated with the rotator cuff occurs in the glenohumeral joint mainly due to repetitive movements. Reaching an incidence of 16%, affecting the musculoskeletal system generating significant disability, studies show gender differences in the perception and response of chronic pain in rotator cuff tendinopathies. Therefore, the objective of this research project was to determine the types and areas of pain reported by patients with rotator cuff tendinopathies, differentiating by sex. Information was collected through a survey that included a personal data sheet with names and ages, as well as graphs of the human body so that patients could identify areas of pain. It was carried out in a population of 42 participants from the province. from Cotopaxi and Tungurahua distributed equally between men and women. The research approach is quantitative since a prospective and cross-sectional observational design was adopted, carrying out a single evaluation that allowed data to be collected from the participants. Among the results, there were no statistically significant differences between sexes in the distribution of pain from a general analysis (p=909). However, females presented a greater body extent of pain in the hand area compared to males (p=0.043).
