Physical Therapy Interventions Following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In the post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) management, physical therapy intervention is an important factor in bringing about a clinically positive prognosis. However, no conclusive therapeutic evidence has been found for various physical therapy interventions. In this study, the investigators would like to investigate the effects of physical therapy interventions on ARCR patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pain intensity [Change from baseline pain intensity at 12 weeks]
A numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) consisting of 11 points in total from 0 points (no pain) to 10 points (the most severe pain imaginable) is used. The lower the score, the less the pain.
