What are rehab methods for ac decompression and rotator cuff repair?

In three stages: 1-the repair needs to be protected while the tendon heals. To keep your arm from moving you will most likely use a sling and avoid using it 4-6 weeks. 2-passive exercise in most cases, passive exercise is begun within the first 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. 3-after 4 to 6 weeks, you will progress to doing active exercises without the help of your therapist. Then we start strengthening exercises.

Protocols Below: Here are some links to the protocols we use but this also depends on your surgeon and technique of repair. http://www.theshouldercenter.com/pdf/arthroscopic-rotator-cuff-repair-protocol.pdf http://www.Theshouldercenter.Com/rotator-cuff-tear.Htm.
