No studies to date have examined the feasibility or effectiveness of such therapy formats. Given the prevalence of rotator cuff tears, a study examining group format therapy is warranted and can produce evidence to transform care for rotator cuff tear rehabilitation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We analyzed the electronic medical records of persons that underwent rotator cuff repair surgery followed by the prescribedpost\u2010surgical physiotherapy at Southlake Regional Health Centre. Both groups were provided standard physiotherapy intervention protocol for post\u2010operative rotator cuff tear. Active range of motion (AROM), quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (Q\u2010DASH) measures, and efficiency measures were examined for differences between groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No significant differences between AROM (abduction <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.92, lateral rotation <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.64, and flexion <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a01.00) and Q\u2010DASH (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.62) measures between groups were observed at discharge. Overall, group therapy participants required a greater number of visits (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.000); however, when separated by age groups, only the 60\u2010 to 69\u2010year\u2010old participants significantly differed in number of visits between groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.000), whereas no difference was observed in the 50\u2010 to 59\u2010year\u2010old participants (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.14).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Group format physiotherapy may be equally effective as individual formats in improving AROM and functional outcomes of participants with surgically repaired rotator cuff tears.
