- Other: physiotherapyOther: myofascial release technique
- Registration Number
- NCT05064774
- Lead Sponsor
- Pamukkale University
- Brief Summary
this study was conducted the patients with rotator cuff tears who underwent rotator cuff repair surger.The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups and a total of 20 subjects were randomized in a single block order using RandomAllocation Software 1.0.0 by simple randomization.All evaluation and treatment was done by the same physiotherapist.The first group was included in the traditional treatment program after rotator cuff repair, while the second group was included in the myofascial release program, 2 sessions a week between the 4th and 7th weeks, in addition to the traditional treatment.
- Detailed Description
Patients in the 2 groups undergoing rc repair were also included in a similar physiotherapy program.Immobilization with a sling was made for 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Group Intervention Description control group physiotherapy Patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery (n=10). They were implemented physiotherapy after the surgery once a week for 12 weeks. They were encouraged to do exercises 3 to 5 times every day. myofascial release group myofascial release technique Patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery (n=10). They were implemented physiotherapy the same as the control group once a week for 12 weeks. In addition to physiotherapy they took myofascial release sessions twice a week for 4 weeks between 4 and 7 weeks. myofascial release group physiotherapy Patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery (n=10).
