Rotator cuff (RC) tear is a prevalent disorder that led to shoulder pain. Up to 70% of doctors' visits related
to the shoulder joint are due to RC disorders.This study investigated the effectiveness of scapular
mobilization exercises in improving shoulder function after rotator cuff tendon repair surgery. Forty
patients were randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group receiving scapular mobilization in
addition to conventional therapy, and a control group receiving only conventional therapy. Both groups
underwent three physiotherapy sessions per week for four weeks. Before and after the intervention,
researchers assessed pain (VAS), shoulder function (Constant-Murley Score), range of motion, and
disability (SPADI).
