Early Range of Motion Following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Rotator Cuff Disease

In brief

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.
