| Flap 1 | Flap 2 |
| rotator cuff tear | usually degenerative, occurs overtime with impingement of supraspinatus tendon betewwn acromon and greater tubercule |
| signs of Rotator Cuff tear | decsease AROM on ABD, no reduction of PROM, Drop arm test + |
| PT interventions for Rotator Cuff tear | return of normal strenght, endurance, coordination, scapulothoracic and glenohumeral rhythm with overhead activities |
| duration of immobilization in Flexor tendon repair | 3-4 weeks |
| position of hand in splint in FTR | wrist and digits flexed, rubber band traction applied to keep IP joints in 30-50 degree of passive flexion |
| when AROM is initiated in FTR | after 4 weeks, to tollerance |
| what is the goal in FTR | manage the soft tissue by providing collagen remodeling which preserves free tendon gliding |
| what exercises are initiated first in FTR | extension before flexion |
| when to start resistive ROM | aftern full AROM is achieved |
