The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed technology of physical rehabilitation as an alternative method for restoring impaired motor functions in elderly individuals with contraindications for surgical intervention following full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff. Research methods and organization. The analysis and generalization of foreign scientific literature, pedagogical experiments, and mathematical-statistical data processing were applied. The developed technology was tested in the conditions of the scientific and practical center for physical rehabilitation "Savita" based at Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health and the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization for Additional Professional Education "Academy of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine." Research results and conclusions. Reliable data has been obtained indicating an improvement in active flexion in the scapular plane, a reduction in the intensity of pain syndrome, an increase in muscle strength in the recovering arm, and a clinically significant improvement in the functional condition of the upper limb and the quality of life of the rehabilitants.
