Rotator Cuff (RC) injuries are a progressive clinical condition that starts with an acute tendonitis, continues with partial thickness rupture and results in a full thickness rupture in the advanced period.
Arthroscopic RC repair is effective in the acute RC ruptures treatment caused by traumatic events. In the acute period after arthroscopic RC repair, shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and shoulder functionality are decreased and daily activities are adversely affected. In the long-term, many studies have reported that these symptoms gradually decreaced.
Many studies investigating postoperative treatment of RC rupture have mostly focused on parameters such as postoperative pain, functionality, muscle strength, ROM and quality of life.Evaluation of these clinical parameters is necessary for patient follow-up in the early period. However, it is unclear whether the biomechanical etiologic factors continue that lead to RC rupture in the advanced period after surgery.
Therefore, the objective of this study was functional performance of shoulder after arthroscopic Rotator Cuff repair and ınvestigation of performance related factors.
Design: observational Cross-sectional study.
734 studies on the registry are indexed under Rotator Cuff Injuries; 161 are open to participants now.

The study group consists of participants with undergone arthroscopic RC repair at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology.
Exclusion Criteria:
Thirty-two participants with undergone arthroscopic Rotator Cuff repair
Other: Shoulder Performance Test- Functional Impairment Test-Head and Neck, Shoulder, Arm (FIT-HaNSA)
Thirty-two healthy participants
Other: Shoulder Performance Test- Functional Impairment Test-Head and Neck, Shoulder, Arm (FIT-HaNSA)
Participants were evaluated with all tests, respectively. To eliminate the fatigue factor, 5 minutes breaks were given after each test.
Also known as: Shoulder Functionality-Modified Constant Murley Score, Scapular Endurance-Scapular Muscle Endurance Test, Strength-Total Upper Extremity Muscle Strength
Functional Impairment Test-Head and Neck, Shoulder, Arm (FIT-HaNSA)
FIT-HaNSA is a test battery consisting of 3 tasks simulating overhead work and lifting activities designed to evaluate the shoulder functional performance.
Time frame: Three months
Modified Constant Murley Score
Shoulder functionality was analyzed by using the MCMS evaluating pain, daily living activities, ROM and strength. Pain was evaluated by visual analog scale and ROM by goniometer. The force in the shoulder abduction position was measured with the Digital analyzer defined by the spring balance technique.
Time frame: Three months
Scapular Muscle Endurance Test
The scapular muscle endurance test evaluate the endurance of the serratus anterior and the trapezium muscles.
Time frame: Three months
Total Upper Extremity Muscle Strength
Total upper extremity muscle strength was evaluated with Jamar hand dynamometer. Grip strength is considered to be a valid value of TUEMS. The test was performed by measuring both sides.
Time frame: Three months
