App-Based rehab could replace office visits after shoulder surgery
NCT ID NCT05789784
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to recover after reverse total shoulder replacement: using a smartphone app (mymobility) for home exercises versus standard in-person physical therapy. Researchers will enroll 100 adults to see if the app works just as well. The main goal is to measure pain and function using a standard shoulder score.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mymobility digital platform for physical therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a smartphone app is just as effective as in-person physical therapy for recovery after shoulder replacement, potentially making rehab more convenient and accessible.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) comparing two rehab approaches, not testing a new drug or device. The app may not work as well for everyone, especially those less comfortable with technology.
