Actual (reported)In shoulder rehabilitation after arthroscopic cuff repair, one of first objectives coincides with improving the range of passive movement: this process often requires considerable time of both patients and physiotherapists. This study aims to verify whether it is useful to add instruments assisted soft-tissue mobilization according to Graston Tecnique to the classic rehabilitation protocol in order to accelerate recovery times of passive range of motion.

The treatment of control group will be organized according to the classic protocol currently in use in our Institute which consists of: 30 minutes of passive and active assisted mobilization guided by the therapist, 30 min of Continous passive movement in flexion and abduction and 30 minutes of electrostimulation.
30 minutes of passive and active assisted mobilization guided by the therapist associated with instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, 30 min of Continous passive movement in flexion and abduction and 30 minutes of electrostimulation.
Graston technique involves the use of steel tools that are used non-invasively on the skin to identify and treat areas that have stiffness or inflammation. These areas can be located with greater precision than the manual technique precisely because the instruments do not compress in contact with the patient's skin, as is the case with the physiotherapist's fingertips. Thanks to the instruments it is therefore possible to detect the areas of altered consistency and to treat them by pressing a minimum pressure.
