However, research has questioned whether such an approach is optimal. The aim of this study was to undertake an updated survey to understand whether practice has evolved in line with contemporary research.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>An electronic survey was developed describing three case scenarios (medium\u2010sized rotator cuff repair [2 cm], large\u2010sized rotator cuff repair [4 cm] and large\u2010sized rotator cuff repair with biceps tenodesis). Clinicians involved with rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair were invited to participate.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>129 responses were received (United Kingdom = 87, other regions [ORs] = 42). Respondents would most commonly recommend four to six weeks of immobilisation for all case scenarios. Passive movement would commence during this period, with active movement recommended from four to six weeks. Resisted exercise would commence between seven to 12 weeks along with return to driving. There were some minor differences in recommendations between respondents from the United Kingdom and ORs, including a greater proportion from the United Kingdom recommending sling immobilisation rather than abduction brace immobilisation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>For many respondents to this survey, rehabilitation for the three case scenarios was similar and has not evolved in line with contemporary research evidence. The reasons behind this need to be explored and incorporated into the design of future research evaluating rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/msc.1514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]],"date-time":"2020-09-17T08:17:25Z","timestamp":1600330645000},"page":"165-171","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair: A survey of current practice (2020)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7703-727X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chris","family":"Littlewood","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Professions Faculty of Health, Psychology &amp; Social Care Manchester Metropolitan University  Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Mazuquin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Professions Faculty of Health, Psychology &amp; Social Care Manchester Metropolitan University  Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Moffatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Professions Faculty of Health, Psychology &amp; Social Care Manchester Metropolitan University  Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3203-506X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcus","family":"Bateman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Derby Shoulder Unit University Hospitals Derby &amp; Burton NHS Foundation Trust  Derby UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asmr.2020.03.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/otor.2002.36289"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2016-096178"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1179\/1753614612Z.00000000025"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2020.01.097"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1758573214567702"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1758573215571679"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2016-095963"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.97B9.35250"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2018.10.139"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.18.00773"}],"container-title":["Musculoskeletal Care"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/msc.1514","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/msc.1514","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/msc.1514","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,30]],"date-time":"2023-08-30T08:59:53Z","timestamp":1693385993000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/msc.1514"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/msc.1514"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/msc.1514","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1478-2189","1557-0681"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1478-2189","type":"print"},{"value":"1557-0681","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2020-06-22","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-09-06","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-09-17","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
