Key Points

To assess the impact of muscle energy technique in conjunction with joint mobilization on post-surgical outcomes after rotator cuff repair.
Observational cohort study design
Participants received joint mobilization and muscle energy techniques after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
Outcomes measured included pain, range of motion, and shoulder function
Participants reported significant pain reduction post-treatment
Improvements in range of motion were observed compared to standard care
Enhanced shoulder function scores were noted in those receiving combined therapy
