The Effect of Early Range of Motion on Clinical Outcomes, Patient Satisfaction, and Cuff Integrity Following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair. A Prospective Randomized Study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference in the quality of
life, ability to return to functioning (back to everyday life), the amount of experienced
pain in patients who immediately move their shoulder versus patient who delay moving their
shoulder after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We are also interested in whether there is
a difference in the healing rates between these two groups.
