ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how adding specific shoulder exercises early on can help patients recover better after surgery for rotator cuff injuries. The researchers want to see if starting strengthening exercises for certain shoulder muscles just one week after surgery improves the way the shoulder moves when lifting the arm. This could help patients regain their strength and mobility more effectively.
To be eligible for the study, participants need to be between 30 and 50 years old, have had arthroscopic surgery to repair a small or medium tear in the supraspinatus muscle, and be of any gender. If you join the trial, you will be part of a program that includes these early exercises and regular assessments to see how well your shoulder is healing. The trial is currently recruiting participants, so this could be an opportunity for those looking for an accelerated rehabilitation approach after their surgery.
