Early active motion vs sling immobilization after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A randomized controlled trial
Arthroscopy Mar 06, 2019
Sheps DM, et al. - Investigators evaluated 206 cases to analyze the influence of early mobilization (EM) with standard rehabilitation (SR) over the first 24 months succeeding arthroscopic rotator cuff (RC) repair. They observed significantly better forward flexion and abduction in EM candidates as compared to the SR participants; no other group differences were noted. Over 24 months, they noticed no variations in the range of motion (ROM) after 6 weeks, and pain, strength, or health-related quality of life (HRQOL) at any time. They reported similar repair integrity at 12 months postoperatively between the 2 groups.
