    Uploaded by

    porongporong
    This document outlines a post-operative rehabilitation protocol for arthroscopic acromioplasty and partial rotator cuff debridement. It includes pendulum exercises, passive range of motion, isometrics, and scapular exercises in the first 2 weeks. From 2-6 weeks, the protocol progresses to active range of motion and strengthening exercises for the rotator cuff and scapula. The goal is to achieve full, pain-free range of motion by 6 weeks. From 6-12 weeks, the patient progresses to an independent strengthening program while maintaining proper form.
