Brief Summary  

The present parallel group RCT will be conducted in the Department of Orthopedics and Department of Physical Rehabilitation and Medicine at PGIMER Chandigarh with the following OBJECTIVE -

  To compare the functional parameters among patients of arthroscopic repair of large to massive rotator cuff involving subscapularis tear in early mobilization and delayed mobilization group vs the patients without subscapularis involvement. 


All enrolled patients will undergo arthroscopic repair for large to massive rotator cuff tear by an Orthopaedics surgeon of PGIMER Chandigarh. After arthroscopic confirmation, the patients with involvement of subscapularis, will be randomized into two groups, Early mobilization group (Intervention-1) and Delayed mobilization group (Intervention-2) i.e. after surgical procedure. The randomization will be done by simple randomization techniques by nursing officer working in the Orthopaedics ward. After arthroscopic repair, these patients will go for rehabilitation protocol (early and delayed rehabilitation protocol). The patients without subscapularis involvement will be provided routine care in the hospital. They will also be kept under observation.

All the patients will be assessed for clinical outcome score measurement.

All above mentioned patients will go for arthroscopic repair and post operative rehabilitation after CTRI registration and Ethical approval from Institute Ethical Committee, PGIMER, Chandigarh.

The participants, intervention, comparator and outcome variable (PICO) are described as follows:

PICO Statement of the trial

P (Participant) = Patients of arthroscopic repair of large to massive rotator cuff involving the subscapularis tear.

I (Intervention) = early mobilization group; allocation ratio 1:1

C (Comparator) = Delayed mobilization group
