⇒ Avoided end range stretch (first 6 weeks), active exe
● Avoided pulley exe
● Avoided elevation from 30 to 60° (more 2 tendon injury, subscapularis injury)
Phase1 (1~4weeks)
▣ collagen deposition and growth factors increase, with a peak increase around 10 days after surgery
▣ repair should not be exposed to the excessive forces inposed by active motion
▣ Pressure at the end range (stretching) should be avoided for the first 6 weeks
▣ PROM is progressed with caution
□ Started periscapular activation
- isolated scapular depression, retraction performed and has shown to exhibit minimal posterior RC cuff activity
□ Approximately 20~30° of scapular plane
- preventing decreased blood flow in the supraspinatus
- increasing the subacromial space
