Effectiveness of early versus delayed rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair: Systematic review and meta-analyses.

<h4>Objective</h4>To investigate the effectiveness of early rehabilitation compared with delayed/standard rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair for pain, function, range of movement, strength, and repair integrity.<h4>Design</h4>Systematic review and meta-analyses.<h4&g...
