Simple shoulder exercises speed recovery after rotator cuff surgery
NCT ID NCT06851650
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding specific shoulder-blade strengthening exercises (lower trapezius and serratus anterior) right after rotator cuff surgery helps improve shoulder movement. Thirty adults aged 30 to 50 with small or medium tears participated. The goal was to see if early scapular exercises lead to better shoulder rotation and strength during recovery.
