Assessment of Kinematics and Electromyography following Arthroscopic Single-Tendon Rotator Cuff Repair

The increasing demand for rotator cuff (RC) repair patients to return to work as soon as they are physically able has led to exploration of when this is feasible. Current guidelines from our orthopaedic surgery clinic recommend a return to work at 9 weeks post-operation. In order to more fully define capacity to return to work the current study was conducted using a unique series of quantitative tools. To date, no study has combined three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis with electromyography (EMG) assessment during activities of daily living (ADLs), which include desk tasks, and commonly prescribed rehabilitation exercise.
