Effect of different physiotherapy methods on shoulders arch muscle strength and movements amplitudes after rotator cuff tendons tear surgery

Abstract

The article analyses the effect of PNF and electrical stimulation to shoulders arch muscle strength and movements amplitudes after rotator cuff tendons tear operation. The scientific literature about shoulder arch biomechanics, shoulders arch anatomy and kinesiology, PNF and electrical stimulation features and effect was analysed. The muscle strength of the shoulder, joint amplitudes of arm movements before and after the intervention was determined. The change in shoulders arch muscle strength and movement amplitudes before and after 6 weeks of intervention, compare different physiotherapy methods effectiveness was compared.

Keywords: PNF, electrical stimulation, rotator cuff tear.
