<br/><br/> Postoperative rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair is essential for a positive patient outcome. Each patient should have a program tailored to their individual tear and repair characteristics. Their plan should be advanced according to their progress, with therapist and surgeon communication. The rehabilitation progresses through 4 stages. This begins with a period of immobilization, passive range of motion, and protecting the repair and ends with functional and sport-specific exercises. Rehabilitation advances in progress-based steps during 24 weeks. The rehabilitation process aims to balance healing of the tendon repair and the risk of postoperative stiffness.
