Band Connect for Shoulder Surgery Recovery
This study is testing a new tool called Band Connect to help people recovering from shoulder surgery. If you're having total shoulder replacement (arthroplasty) or rotator cuff repair surgery performed by Dr. Robert Gillespie at University Hospitals, you might be able to join. Band Connect is a platform that helps you do your physical therapy exercises at home. Researchers want to see if using Band Connect helps you complete more of your home exercises, makes you happier with your recovery, and improves your overall experience. They will measure success by looking at how many physical therapy visits you have and how many home exercises you complete over six months.

What this trial measures
- Number of physical therapy visits as measured by medical record review.Up to 6 months
- Number of home exercise programs completed as measured by medical record review.Up to 6 months
- Number of in clinic visits as measured by medical record review.Up to 6 months
- Number of patients who were able to return to workUp to 6 months
This will be asked as a Yes/No question
- Time to return to work measured in weeksUp to 6 months
- Number of patients who returned to sportsUp to 6 months
This will be asked as a Yes/No question
- Change in pain as measured by the Visual Analog ScaleBaseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').
- Active range of motion measured in degreesUp to 6 months
- Passive range of motion measured in degreesUp to 6 months
- Strength will be measured on a scale of 0-5Up to 6 months
Strength scale: * 0: no visible or palpable contraction * 1: visible or palpable contraction without motion * 2: full range of motion, gravity eliminated * 3: full range of motion against gravity * 4: full range of motion against gravity, moderate resistance * 5: full range of motion against gravity, maximal resistance
- Patient satisfaction as measured by American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) ScoreUp to 6 months
Scored out of 100, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction
- Number of adverse events as measured by medical record review.Up to 6 months
