Full description

Comparison between Abduction External Rotation Brace and Arm Sling after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff : A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparison of primary outcome : range of motion (at pre-operative , post-operative) , pain score , shoulder functional score There are gaps of knowledge which sling/brace are the best for post operative arthroscopic rotator cuff repair Because patient who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair have to wear these sling/brace for at least 1 month after operation , the better one could reduce post-operative shoulder stiffness , decrease pain and improve functional shoulder score
