Remote rehab rivals clinic visits for shoulder surgery recovery
NCT ID NCT07205094
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether doing physical therapy at home via video calls (telerehabilitation) works as well as going to a clinic after rotator cuff surgery. Thirty people who had surgery at least six weeks earlier took part. Both groups did the same exercises for eight weeks, and both improved in pain, movement, and quality of life. The telerehab group actually did better in some areas, suggesting it's a good option for recovery.
