| 1 to 4 (immediate postoperative) | - Protect repair- Mitigate consequences of immobilization- Promote dynamic stability and proprioception- Reduce pain and inflammation- Avoid stretching- Avoid active external rotation, abduction, or extension |
| 5 to 12 (intermediate) | - Gradually restore full ROM- Preserve repair integrity- Restore muscular strength and balance- Enhance neuromuscular control |
| 13 to 21 (minimal protection) | - Maintain full ROM- Improve muscular control, strength, power, and endurance- Practice core stabilization and conditioning- Weekly functional testing begins at week 16- Weekly TSK-11 administration begins at week 16- Sport-specific training begins at week 20 |
| 22 to 26 (advance to strengthening) | - Maintain full ROM- Improve strength, power, and endurance- Advance functional activities |
| 26 to 32 (return-to-sports) | - Enhance strength, power, and endurance- Pass all functional assessments (Table 3)- Maintain mobility |
