Comparing Two Different Rehabilitation Protochols on Patients With Rotator Cuff Repair
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Rotator cuff (RC) repair is one of the most common treatment approch to relief the pain and improve the shoulder function on patients with rotator cuff rupture. Despite the improved surgical techniques and decreased failure rate, there are still complications after the surgey like shoulder persistant shoulder pain, stiffness even re-tear. Therefore, rehabilitation after the RC repair procedure is crucial for the success of the treatment. However, there is no concencus between the post-operative rehabilitation protochol. The aim of this study is to compare two different rehabilitation protochols on patients with RC repair.

Detailed Description
Rotator cuff (RC) repair is one of the most common treatment approch to relief the pain and improve the shoulder function on patients with rotator cuff rupture. Despite the improved surgical techniques and decreased failure rate, there are still complications after the surgey like shoulder persistant shoulder pain, stiffness even re-tear. Therefore, rehabilitation after the RC repair procedure is crucial for the success of the treatment. However, there is no concencus between the post-operative rehabilitation protochol. The aim of this study is to compare two different rehabilitation protochols in terms of shoulder range of motion, self-reported shoulder function and pain on patients with RC repair.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Hospitalized rehabilitation Patients in this group will recieve rehabilitation program twice in a week at our clinic after the surgical procedure until post-operative 12 weeks. |
Other: Hospitalized rehabilitation
Patients will recive a rehabilitation prgram at the clinic twice in a week until the post-operative 12. weeks
|
Experimental: Home-based rehabilitation Patients in his groups will performed home-based rehabilitation in the early stages of the post-op period. They will com to our clinic once in a two weeks and the recieve the exercise program to perform at home until the 6. weeks of the post-operative period. After the 6. week they will come to our clinic once in a week until the post-operative 12. week. |
Other: Home-based rehabilitation
Patients will recive a home program once in a two weeks until the 6. weeks of post-operative period. Then will start to recieve a rehabilitation program ar the clinic once in a week auntil the 12. week of the post-operative period.
