BACKGROUND Muscle weakness, particularly of shoulder external rotation, is common after rotator cuff repair surgery. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation has been shown to be an effective adjunct in the enhancement of muscle recruitment. HYPOTHESIS Shoulder external rotation peak force can be enhanced by neuromuscular electrical stimulation after rotator cuff repair surgery. STUDY DESIGN Co...
