Introduction
The MOON Shoulder group is a Multi
-center
Orthopaedic Outcomes Network. In other words, it is a group of doctors from around the country working together to do research so they can give patients with shoulder problems the best possible care. You have been kind enough to be in our rehabilitation study. We
are trying to find out why
some patients with rotator cuff tears get better with therapy and others do not. Your doctor, athletic trai
ner or physical therapist
can help guide you through
this program which is
broken up into three parts: Range
of
Motion
- you should do this every day to
help get your motion back. Flexibility
- you should do this every day to help
stretch tight tissues. Strengthening
- you should do this 3 or 4 days each
week to help get your strength back. For most of the exercises you will do a certain number of repetitions (or
reps) and a certain
number of sets.
Example: 3 sets / 10 reps
