Abstract

Aim
To compare the effect of a progressive early passive and active movement protocol with a care as usual (limited early passive movement protocol) on tendon healing, physical function, pain, and quality of life, in patients operated due to traumatic full thickness rotator cuff tear.

Background
Shoulder pain is frequent with prevalence in the general population ranging from 7- 30%. Shoulder disorders are often persistent and recurrent, with about 23% of the working population with shoulder problems being sick-listed. There is insufficient evidence regarding the rehabilitation/ training after rotator cuff surgery including the period/ time frame of immobilization, how early to start active movement of the shoulder and training progression. This project is the first of its kind to examine the effect of a progressive early active movement of the shoulder in the first postoperative weeks (the immobilization period).

Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery with early and progressive movement and physical training postoperatively will earlier and to a greater extent improve in physical function, pain, quality of life and biological tendon healing, thereby returning to work and leisure activity faster.
