Abstract

Rehabilitation has a fundamental role in the management of rotator cuff pathology whether the final choice is conservative or surgical treatment. Conservative treatment can give excellent results in cases of rotator cuff tendinopathies without rupture, partial tears less than 50% of the thickness of the tendon, chronic full-thickness tears in elderly patients and irreparable tears. It is an option prior to reconstructive surgery in non-pseudo paralytic cases. When surgery is indicated, adequate postoperative rehabilitation is the best complement to obtain a successful result. No consensus has still been established on the optimal postoperative protocol to follow. No differences were found between delayed, early passive and early active protocols after rotator cuff repair. However, early motion improved the range of motion in the short and mid-term, allowing faster recovery. A 5-phase postoperative rehabilitation protocol is described. Rehabilitation is also an option in specific failed surgical procedures. To choose a therapeutic strategy in these cases, it is reasonable to differentiate between Sugaya type 2 or 3 (tendinopathy of the tendon) and type 4 or 5 (discontinuity/retear). The rehabilitation program should always be tailored to the individual patient.
