Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Skeletally mature adults of either sex, aged 18 to 75 years with chronic retracted SS tears with fatty infiltration( gd > 1 , according to Goutallier classification or Fuschâ??s modification of Goutelliar grading based on MRI) of either degenerative or traumatic etiology.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Arthritis of shoulder joint (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, arthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy) 2. Brachial plexus injury or any nerve involvement of upper limb like stroke 3. Frozen shoulder following trauma or shoulder surgeries, metabolic conditions (excluding diabetes with controlled sugars who were included), stroke or myocardial infarction 4. Patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for rotator cuff tears on same side 5. Patient who withholds consent. 6. Any patient who cannot provide the necessary data due to any disability

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To see percentage improvement in fatty infiltration using Goutallierâ??s staging system and muscle atrophy by Thomazeuâ??s grading system using occupation ratio in chronic retracted Supraspinatus tears following Neuromuscular electrical stimulation.Timepoint: To see Improvement in Muscle growth and reduction in fatty content by DAY 30—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To see clinical improvement following Nuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in patients with chronic retracted Supraspintus tears in terms of Visual Analogue score(VAS) . 2.To see clinical improvement following Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) in patients with chronic Supraspintus tears in terms of Active ROM , Shoulder Pain and Diasability Index (SPADI) and Constant ScoreTimepoint: To see improvement in Visual Analogue Score(VAS), shoulder pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and Constant Score on Day 10 and Day 30—
