Brief summary

In the post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) management, physical therapy intervention is an important factor in bringing about a clinically positive prognosis. However, no conclusive therapeutic evidence has been found for various physical therapy interventions. In this study, the investigators would like to investigate the effects of physical therapy interventions on ARCR patients.

Interventions
