App-based rehab after rotator cuff repair surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a smartphone or tablet app to guide your shoulder exercises at home works as well as in-person therapy after rotator cuff repair surgery. The goal is to see if remote rehabilitation helps you regain shoulder strength and function safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and had rotator cuff repair surgery using a specific arthroscopic technique with double-row sutures
- Your rotator cuff tear was confirmed by MRI or ultrasound and was small-to-medium in size (less than 5 cm) and repairable
- You have no serious cognitive problems and can understand and follow detailed exercise instructions
- You own or have regular access to a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet and video capability
- You are willing and able to follow the rehabilitation program as prescribed, attend follow-up visits, and commit to the study
- You do not have other major shoulder, spine, or nerve problems unrelated to the rotator cuff tear
