Telerehabilitation for Rotator Cuff Surgery Recovery
This study is looking at whether a telerehabilitation (rehabilitation from a distance, often using technology) program using the Band Connect device helps people recover after rotator cuff surgery. The Band Connect device includes smart handles and resistance bands that connect to a phone app, guiding you through exercises. You could be eligible if you are an adult aged 18 or older, scheduled for rotator cuff repair surgery by specific doctors (Dr. Young Kwon, Dr. Mandeep Virk, Dr. Dennis DeBernardis, or Dr. Jie Yao), plan to do physical therapy at certain NYU locations, and have home internet and a compatible cell phone. The study will measure your shoulder function using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score at the beginning and after 6 months to see how well you recover. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Change in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES)Baseline, Month 6
The ASES is a 17-item questionnaire measuring shoulder pain and function. The total score is standardized into a 0-100 scale; higher scores indicate less pain/greater function.
