Does Undergoing a Prehabilitation Protocol Aimed at Optimizing Scapulothoracic Mobility and Strengthening Improve Internal Rotation After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty?
{ "Prehabilitation for Improved Internal Rotation After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty", "This study is looking at whether a special exercise program before reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) can help improve how well you can rotate your arm inward after surgery. Many people have trouble with this movement after RSA. The exercise program, called prehabilitation, focuses on strengthening and improving the movement of your shoulder blade (scapulothoracic mobility). If you join, you would be randomly assigned to either receive this prehabilitation program for 6 weeks before surgery or not. Researchers will compare your arm movement, strength, and how well you can do daily activities that require internal rotation for up to 2 years after surgery. This study is for people aged 40-80 who are having their first RSA for conditions like osteoarthritis or rotator cuff problems.", "design": "This is an observational study planning to enroll 64 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive a 6-week prehabilitation program or not.", "commitments": "If you are in the prehabilitation group, you will perform exercises 5-7 times per week for 6 weeks before surgery and attend monthly therapy sessions. All participants will have follow-up assessments for at least 2 years after surgery.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery to assess their activities of daily living.", }

What this trial measures
- Activities of Daily Living which require Internal Rotation (ADLIR) questionnaire6-8 Weeks pre surgery, 2 Weeks pre surgery, and 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years post surgery
Activities of Daily Living questionnaire with a scale of 9 = worst, 100 = best Shoulder Internal Range of Motion Measurements with scoring scale: 0 = Thigh or less.1 = Hip. 2 = Buttocks, 3 =Sacrum, 4 = L4-L5, 5 = L1-L3, 6 = T12-T8, 7 = T7 or Higher
