Timing of Therapy After Rotator Cuff Repair
We cannot recommend for or against a specific time interval prior to initiation of active resistance exercises after rotator cuff repair.

Rationale
After a systematic search, no clinical data was found supporting or refuting a negative or positive effect of active resistance exercises for post-operative rehabilitation after repair of a full thickness rotator cuff tear on tendon healing or outcomes after rotator cuff repair. Therefore, the work group could not recommend for or against the timing of active resistance exercises in the post-operative period.
