Brief summary
Rotator cuff injuries are the third leasing cause of pain and disability, accounting for 16% of all musculoskeletal injuries. Following surgical intervention, patients typically undergo a 4 to 6 week immobilization period before starting physical therapy. This rehabilitation phase can last between 4 to 6 months. Despite this, there is currently a lack of clear guidelines regarding specific physical therapy protocols or the expected post surgical recovery for patients who have undergone rotator cuff repair.
Detailed description
Objective: Evaluate the impact of a PNE-based prehabilitation program on early and medium-term functional recovery trajectories, pain intensity, and psychosocial factors following RCR. Additionally, it investigates the role of baseline psychosocial variables and prehabilitation exposure as independent predictors of post-operative functional success at 12 weeks.
Interventions
The modified protocol will be implementen based on available scientific evidence and guided by the consensus remaches with the traumatologist at the physiotherapy center

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functionality | 3,6,9 and 12 weeks postoperatively | QuickDash questionnaire will be administered, which provides information on the level of shoulder disability. The results of this questionnaire are reported as a percentage ranging from 0 to 100%. The higher the score, the greater the level of disability. |
| Pain nocturnal, dynamic and static | 3,6,9 and 12 weeks postoperatively | Numeric visual scale, considering 0 as no pian and 10 as the maximum perceived pain. The patient will be asked about his pain at rest, movement, and at night. |
| Sleep quality | 3,6,9 and 12 weeks postoperatively | Subjective perception of sleep quality was assessed through questions regarding hours of sleep, number of times awakened due to pain, and use of medication to control nigth time sleep. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Range of movility | 3,6,9 and 12 weeks postoperatively | The movement of flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation of the shoulder are evaluated by means of goniometry. |
