Factors Associated With Tear Propagation and Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Personalized Exercise Therapy for Individuals With Symptomatic Rotator Cuff Tears

Key Points

• Tear propagation was low after 12 weeks of personalized exercise therapy, indicating effective intervention.
• Baseline tear size influenced levels of tear propagation, while stronger internal rotation led to improved WORC scores.
• Observational analysis across the 12-week therapy highlights initial conditions that impact outcomes post-therapy.
• Identifying these factors could enhance personalized care, paving the way for better patient outcomes.
