Background: Rotator cuff injury is a major problem for rural as well as urban population and the rehabilitation plays an important role in decreasing pain and improving function in the shoulder joint. Purpose of Study: To know the role of Ultrasound Therapy and LASER therapy in the management of rotator cuff muscles injury of the shoulder joint. Methodology: 20 male patients (10 in each group) were randomly recruited for the study. Group A is Ultrasound therapy whereas group B is LASER therapy for 5 days in a weak for four weeks. The data were taken on baseline, 30 days and 90 days. Result: The result shows that the ROM flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation of shoulder are improved significantly higher in LASER group compared to as ultrasound therapy group. Conclusion: Thus the study concludes that ultrasound therapy as well as LASER therapy is helpful modalities for management of rotator cuff injuries but LASER causes higher improvement.
