The rotator cuff represents active dynamic stabilizers of the shoulder joint, and it includes m. supraspinatus, m. infraspinatus, m. subscapularis and m. teres minor. Injuries and damage to the musculature of the rotator cuff are a significant and frequent problem in modern public health and often cause absences from the workplace. Their etiology is diverse, so they can occur in professional or recreational athletes or in people who do not play sports, but are exposed to risk factors. In addition to the complex etiology, the clinical picture and diagnosis, as well as the treatment and rehabilitation process, are also complex. If conservative therapeutic methods do not help in reducing symptoms and if it is a case of severe injuries and larger tendon ruptures, operative treatment is applied. After the operation is performed and the postoperative wound is treated, appropriate rehabilitation procedures are selected and implemented in order to restore and improve joint mobility, muscle strength and normal daily and professional functioning. Access to a person who has experienced an injury or damage to the rotator cuff musculature is complex, especially if it is a postoperative condition. This approach must be individually adapted and should contain the characteristics of a team and holistic approach to the patient. The physiotherapist has an important role in the rehabilitation team for this pathological condition and must apply a high-quality and complete physiotherapy assessment, devise a plan and program of interventions that will be carried out in accordance with short-term and long-term goals, and finally the selected interventions must be carried out, evaluated and the patient educated. Postoperative rehabilitation includes electrotherapy, therapeutic ultrasound and laser, biofeedback, mobilization and manual techniques, especially proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.
