Home therapy vs. clinic visits: which works better after shoulder surgery?

NCT ID NCT03719859

Summary

This study aimed to find out if patients recover better after a reverse shoulder replacement by doing exercises at home with a surgeon's guidance or by attending formal physical therapy sessions at a clinic. Researchers followed 100 patients with severe shoulder arthritis or rotator cuff damage for two years, measuring their pain, shoulder movement, and daily function. The goal was to determine which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications like fractures or dislocations.
