Summary

This study is testing a new physical therapy protocol for people over 50 who have had arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery. Researchers will track shoulder function, pain levels, and sleep quality over the recovery period. The goal is to gather better evidence on what helps patients heal more effectively.
