Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: SEQUENTIAL
Intervention model description: The participants were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received arm sling post operative arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The experimental group received abduction external rotation brace post operative arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: 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

Detailed 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
