[Early functional treatment of the injured shoulder supported by an active shoulder bandage].
The following study shows the results of treatment of 29 patients suffering from rotatory cuff lesion and of 20 patients with tendinosis. The results of functional physiotherapy of the patients with rotatory cuff lesion correspond to the results of post-operative treatment described in other studies. As a result of early functional physiotherapy backed up by an active shoulder support, the treatment was both improved and shortened considerably. The accompanying pain relief achieved an earlier usability of the shoulder joint in both groups of patients. Four patients with rotatory cuff lesions were resistant to physiotherapy and finally had to undergo surgery.
