Summary on best evidence on postoperative rehabilitation for patients with rotator cuff injury
Objective To summarize the best evidence on postoperative rehabilitation for patients with rotator cuff injury,and to pro-vide references for clinical implementation of relevant interventions.Methods We retrieved literature related to postoperative reha-bilitation nursing for patients with rotator cuff injury and used JBI's literature quality appraisal standards and evidence grading sys-tem for quality evaluation and evidence level assessment of the included literature.The search time frame was from January 2013 to December 2023.Results A total of 10 articles(4 guidelines,3 expert consensus reports,and 3 systematic reviews)were finally in-cluded.Totally 34 pieces of best evidence were extracted and factored into 9 themes:rehabilitation objectives,development of reha-bilitation plans,rehabilitation principles,fixation of prostheses,exercise duration and contents,exercise frequency,exercise su-pervision,pain control,and health education.Conclusion The summarized best evidence can provide guidance of for clinical medical staff to implement postoperative rehabilitation nursing for patients with rotator cuff injuries.During the process of evidence trans-lation and application,the suitability and feasibility of each piece of evidence should be fully evaluated in combination with the clini-cal context.
