Researchers are evaluating whether telerehabilitation can be a valid alternative to in-person physiotherapy for patients recovering from arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. This study aims to compare the effects of these two rehabilitation methods on pain, shoulder range of motion, and overall shoulder function within one month after surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups the standard treatment group will receive eight in-person physiotherapy sessions over four weeks post-surgery, while the experimental group will undergo eight physiotherapy sessions delivered via telerehabilitation within the same timeframe. Both treatments are conducted by physiotherapists, focusing on recovery after rotator cuff repair. During the study, participants will be assessed at baseline, one month, three months, and six months after surgery. Evaluations will include the Constant-Murley Score to measure shoulder function, mobility assessments, pain rating scales, and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire to track recovery progress. The study will monitor these outcomes to understand the effectiveness of telerehabilitation compared to traditional therapy.
