Brief Summary

Rotator Cuff (RC) injuries are a progressive clinical condition that starts with an acute tendonitis, continues with partial thickness rupture and results in a full thickness rupture in the advanced period. Arthroscopic RC repair is effective in the acute RC ruptures treatment caused by traumatic events. In the acute period after arthroscopic RC repair, shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and shoulder functionality are decreased and daily activities are adversely affected. In the long-term, many studies have reported that these symptoms gradually decreaced. Many studies investigating postoperative treatment of RC rupture have mostly focused on parameters such as postoperative pain, functionality, muscle strength, ROM and quality of life.Evaluation of these clinical parameters is necessary for patient follow-up in the early period. However, it is unclear whether the biomechanical etiologic factors continue that lead to RC rupture in the advanced period after surgery. Therefore, the objective of this study was functional performance of shoulder after arthroscopic Rotator Cuff repair and ınvestigation of performance related factors.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Functional Impairment Test-Head and Neck, Shoulder, Arm (FIT-HaNSA)

    FIT-HaNSA is a test battery consisting of 3 tasks simulating overhead work and lifting activities designed to evaluate the shoulder functional performance.

    Three months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Modified Constant Murley Score

    Three months

  • Scapular Muscle Endurance Test

    Three months

  • Total Upper Extremity Muscle Strength

    Three months

Study Arms (2)

Study Group

Thirty-two participants with undergone arthroscopic Rotator Cuff repair

Other: Shoulder Performance Test- Functional Impairment Test-Head and Neck, Shoulder, Arm (FIT-HaNSA)

Control Group

Thirty-two healthy participants

Other: Shoulder Performance Test- Functional Impairment Test-Head and Neck, Shoulder, Arm (FIT-HaNSA)

Interventions

Participants were evaluated with all tests, respectively. To eliminate the fatigue factor, 5 minutes breaks were given after each test.

Study Population

The study group consists of participants with undergone arthroscopic RC repair at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology.

You may qualify if:

  • With the same RC surgical procedure and technique,
  • With acromioplasty and/or tenodesis with RC repair,
  • Undergoing arthroscopic RC repair from the upper extremity of the dominant side,
  • Having completed the 12th week after surgery,
  • Performing 90° and above active shoulder elevation movement

You may not qualify if:

  • Having undergone revision surgery or previous shoulder surgery, a history of fracture of the upper extremity
  • Having undergone surgery causing limitation of motion in the spine,
  • Having a neurological and/or vestibular and/or rheumatologic disease,
  • Participants with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular and chronic respiratory disease that may cause problems during the test
