Objective To explore the effects of ergonomics-based rotator cuff protector on pain,sleep,exercise compli-ance,and shoulder function recovery in patients with rotator cuff injury after shoulder arthroscopy.Methods A total of 92 patients with rotator cuff injury were collected from January 2022 to June 2023 in Department of Orthopedics Trauma,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.They were divided into a control group and a protection group using the Excel random grouping method,with 46 cases in each group.The control group was given routine rehabil-itation nursing after surgery,while the protection group was given an ergonomic rotator cuff protector on the basis of reha-bilitation nursing.Postoperative pain,sleep quality,exercise compliance,shoulder motion,and shoulder function were compared between the two groups.Results After 2 weeks of intervention,the VAS score of the brace group was 3.02±0.45,which was lower than that of the control group(4.17±0.68,P＜0.05).After 8 weeks of intervention,the total sleep time and sleep efficiency were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05),and the number of awakenings was lower than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The exercise compliance score was(65.73±5.10)points,higher than that of the control group[(57.07±8.23)points,P＜0.05].The movements of shoulder flexion,extension,internal ro-tation,and external rotation were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The score of the shoulder joint func-tion scale was 24.88±5.13,which was higher than that of the control group(18.09±4.12,P＜0.05).Conclusion The use of ergonomic rotator cuff protector can not only reduce the pain of patients with rotator cuff injury after shoulder arthroscopy,improve sleep quality,but also improve their exercise compliance and restore shoulder joint function.
