this study was conducted the patients with rotator cuff tears who underwent rotator cuff repair surger.The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups and a total of 20 subjects were randomized in a single block order using RandomAllocation Software 1.0.0 by simple randomization.All evaluation and treatment was done by the same physiotherapist.The first group was included in the traditional treatment program after rotator cuff repair, while the second group was included in the myofascial release program, 2 sessions a week between the 4th and 7th weeks, in addition to the traditional treatment.
Patients in the 2 groups undergoing rc repair were also included in a similar physiotherapy program.Immobilization with a sling was made for 4-6 weeks after surgery. In addition to physiotherapy in group 2, myofascial release therapy was applied to the upper trapezius, sternocloidomastoideus, pectoral muscles (major, minor) 2 days a week between the 4th and 7th weeks after surgery, in addition to the conventional treatment.
