Summary

This study looks at whether adding kinesio taping to standard rehab after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can reduce pain and improve shoulder function. About 50 adults who had surgery for a torn rotator cuff will be randomly assigned to get either standard rehab alone or standard rehab plus kinesio taping for three weeks. Pain and shoulder function will be measured using standard scales to see if the taping provides extra benefits.
