About this trial
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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Functionality
QuickDash questionnaire will be administered, which provides information on the level of shoulder disability. The results of this questionnaire are reported as a percentage ranging from 0 to 100%. The higher the score, the greater the level of disability.
Time frame
3,6,9 and 12 weeks postoperatively2
Pain nocturnal, dynamic and static
Numeric visual scale, considering 0 as no pian and 10 as the maximum perceived pain. The patient will be asked about his pain at rest, movement, and at night.
Time frame
3,6,9 and 12 weeks postoperatively3
Sleep quality
Subjective perception of sleep quality was assessed through questions regarding hours of sleep, number of times awakened due to pain, and use of medication to control nigth time sleep.
Time frame
3,6,9 and 12 weeks postoperativelySecondary outcomes

Range of movility
The movement of flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation of the shoulder are evaluated by means of goniometry.
