Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Rotator cuff injuries are the third leasing cause of pain and disability, accounting for 16% of all musculoskeletal injuries. Following surgical intervention, patients typically undergo a 4 to 6 week immobilization period before starting physical therapy. This rehabilitation phase can last between 4 to 6 months. Despite this, there is currently a lack of clear guidelines regarding specific physical therapy protocols or the expected post surgical recovery for patients who have undergone rotator cuff repair.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of a differentiated rehabilitation protocol based on the number of tendons repaired versus a standard rehabilitation protocol, regarding functionality, pain, subjective perception of sleep quality, and mobility, in patients who have undergone surgical rotator cuff repair.
