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 trial looks at people getting a reverse shoulder replacement, including some revision surgeries (operations done again). It may help doctors better plan care for different shoulder problems by studying surgical eligibility and outcomes.
This trial looks at a specific shoulder replacement implant and follow-up care for people who need a shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) for certain joint problems or fractures. You may be a candidate if you can take part in required visits and your shoulder muscles and bone are suitable.
This study looks at a special “pacemaker” device to help with scapular dyskinesis (abnormal movement of the shoulder blade) and posterior shoulder instability (the shoulder tending to slip backward). It may help people who have these movement and stability problems but not certain other shoulder conditions.
This study looks at how patients recover after getting a pacemaker put in or upgraded. It may help find better ways to support recovery and improve quality of life.
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.
