Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Conditions
Brief summary
Comparison between Abduction External Rotation Brace and Arm Sling after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff : A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparison of primary outcome : range of motion (at pre-operative , post-operative) , pain score , shoulder functional score
Detailed description
Comparison between Abduction External Rotation Brace and Arm Sling after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff : A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparison of primary outcome : range of motion (at pre-operative , post-operative) , pain score , shoulder functional score There are gaps of knowledge which sling/brace are the best for post operative arthroscopic rotator cuff repair Because patient who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair have to wear these sling/brace for at least 1 month after operation , the better one could reduce post-operative shoulder stiffness , decrease pain and improve functional shoulder score
Interventions

SINGLE (Outcomes Assessor)
Masking description
On the follow up date , both groups will be removed sling / brace before receiving by outcome assessor
Intervention model description
The participants were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received arm sling post operative arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The experimental group received abduction external rotation brace post operative arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of range of motion of shoulders from baseline | At postoperative 3 weeks | Measurement by Goniometer into degrees (forward flexion, external rotation, internal rotation) |
| Change of range of motion of shoulder from baseline | At postoperative 1 year | Measurement by Goniometer into degrees (forward flexion, external rotation, internal rotation) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of visual analog scale for pain from baseline | Change from visual analog scale after 6 weeks postoperative | Range from 1-10 (1 = minimum pain, 10 = maximum pain) |
| Change of constant Murley's score from baseline | Change from visual analog scale after 6 weeks postoperative | Score 0-100 (Functional shoulder score), 0 = worst, 100 = best |
| Change of the Thai version of the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index from baseline | Change from visual analog scale after 6 weeks postoperative | Thai functional shoulder score 0 = worst, 100 = best |
