This study looks at how the shoulder changes position (“reverts”) after a reverse shoulder replacement. It may help doctors better understand what to expect after surgery in people with certain age-related shoulder wear and tear.
This study compares starting shoulder rehab early (2 weeks after surgery) versus at the standard time after a reverse total shoulder replacement for a broken shoulder. It aims to see which approach helps you recover better.
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.
This study compares different durations of immobilization (keeping the arm still) after a reverse total shoulder replacement for a broken upper arm. It aims to find the best approach for recovery.
This study tests a home-based physical therapy program using a phone or web platform (VirtuaCare) to help people stick with their post-surgery shoulder exercises. It may help improve how consistently you complete standard rehab after certain shoulder operations.
This study tests if a special exercise program before shoulder replacement surgery improves how well you can rotate your arm inward after the operation. Participants do exercises for 6 weeks before surgery and are followed for 2 years.
