Summary

This study tests whether a device called the Shoulder Pacemaker can help people recover better after reverse shoulder replacement surgery. About 100 adults aged 18 to 80 will either receive standard physical therapy or therapy plus the device three times a week for three months. The goal is to see if the device reduces pain and improves shoulder function.
