ABSTRACT

Rotator cuff injuries are the leading cause of shoulder pain in adults. The evidence and recommendations on its diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation are updated rapidly. Patients clinically present shoulder pain, weakness, and functional limitation, it is necessary to carry out an adequate evaluation to have a precise diagnosis and decide on the request for complementary studies. The initial treatment is conservative and consists of a combination of medications, physiotherapy, and joint care recommendations. Rehabilitation is basic in conservative treatment, and pre and post-surgery. Exercise is the most effective intervention in treatment and the cornerstone of rehabilitation. Knowing the bases of the rehabilitation process allows the clinician to develop programs based on the patients' needs and their functional reintegration. This review article delves into the above points, providing an overview of the rotator cuff injuries rehabilitation.
