Using a shoulder-mobility app after shoulder replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether the Zimmer Biomet mymobility smartphone app improves outcomes after a reverse total shoulder replacement. It may help by supporting follow-up exercises and tracking progress after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be getting your first (primary) reverse total shoulder replacement for cuff tear arthritis, massive cuff tears, osteoarthritis, or inflammatory arthritis.
- You must have a working smartphone that can use the mymobility app.
- Your surgery must not be a revision (a replacement of a previous reverse shoulder).
- There should be no tendon transfer done at the same time as your shoulder replacement.
- You should not be planned to go to inpatient rehab, a skilled nursing facility, or rely on home health therapy right after discharge.

This trial tests a digital rehab program you can do at home after reverse total shoulder replacement. The goal is to see if an app-based exercise plan helps you recover safely and effectively.
This trial tests a new shoulder replacement system that does not require a stem (a long piece that goes into the arm bone). It is for patients with severe shoulder arthritis or rotator cuff problems. The study will see how well the device works and how it compares to other treatments.
This trial tests whether a personalized mobile app helps people recover better after reverse shoulder replacement surgery. If you use a smartphone or tablet, the app may guide your recovery and track your progress.
This trial tests whether follow-up care by phone or video (telehealth) helps people recover better after a total shoulder replacement. It may be helpful by making rehab guidance easier to follow at home.
This study tests whether using a communication app to help you do home rehabilitation after arthroscopic shoulder surgery improves recovery and function. If you have a small to medium full-thickness rotator cuff tear (or certain subscapularis tears) and can commit to follow-up for two years, you may be eligible.
This trial studies a rehabilitation plan after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (reverse shoulder replacement) to see if it improves recovery. If you are eligible, you may be guided through specific therapy and follow-up visits as part of the study.
