Pulleys have been used in postoperative shoulder with the intention of improving range motion and developing strength. There is a concern use pulleys repairs may contribute to excessive scapular (scapular substitution) potentially inferior outcomes.Hypothesis:Rotator repair patients treated pulley exercises would increased substitution patient-determined outcome scores, motion, strength compared an alternative program without pulleys.Study Design:Randomized controlled trial; Level evidence, 1.Methods:A total 27 who underwent were randomized group initiated 6 weeks postoperatively, 26 followed protocol pulleys.
