Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is a commonly performed surgical procedure to restore shoulder functionality and alleviate pain in individuals with rotator cuff tears. Despite successful surgical repair, postoperative rehabilitation is critical for optimal functional recovery. However, compliance to a full six-month structured rehabilitation protocol varies among patients, leading to questions regarding its impact on shoulder function and muscle activity.
