The compare of stiffness reduction and functional improvements between early passive motion and delayed passive motion in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
Objective To compare the effects of early passive motion(EPM)and delayed passive motion(DPM)on joint range of motion(ROM),joint function and recurrent tears after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.Methods A total of 84 cases with middle or large rotator cuff injury were randomly divided into EPM group(43 cases)and DPM group(41 cases). EPM group began shoulder rehabilitation exercise on the first day post-opera-tion and DPM group began 6 weeks later. ROM,pain and function of shoulder joint were evaluated befo...
