Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app that guides rehabilitation exercises can help people recover shoulder function after rotator cuff repair surgery. Seventy adults who have had the surgery will use either the app or receive standard care with a brochure. The goal is to see if the app improves pain, movement, and daily activities better than usual care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
smartphone app with guided rehabilitation exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective, convenient home-based rehab option for people recovering from rotator cuff surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants, and the app is not yet approved. Results may not apply to everyone, and the app may not be as effective as in-person therapy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Be an adult aged 19 or older. 2. Have a diagnosis corresponding to Korean Standard Classification of Diseases codes M75.1 (rotator cuff tear) or S46.08 (other specified injuries of tendons and muscles at shoulder and upper arm), and have undergone rotator cuff repair (RCR) surgery, or RCR combined with procedures such as acromioplasty, biceps tenotomy, fixation, or labrum repair. 3. Own a smartphone operating on the Android or iOS platform. 4. Have received a full explanation of this clinical trial, understood it, voluntarily agreed to participate, and provided written consent to comply with study precautions. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of previous rotator cuff repair surgery on the same site (revision surgery). 2. Planning or recommendation by medical staff for contralateral rotator cuff repair surgery within one year after enrollment. 3. Plans to receive direct manual therapy or invasive procedures (e.g., oriental medicine treatments, injections, regenerative therapies) at the surgical site through inpatient or outpatient care at another hospital within one year post-discharge. 4. Presence of severe underlying conditions, neuromusculoskeletal disorders, visual impairment, uncontrolled diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, or other comorbidities that hinder participation in rehabilitation exercises. 5. Difficulty using clinical trial medical devices due to cognitive impairment (e.g., dementia), visual impairment, or digital illiteracy. 6. Other cases where the medical staff judges that unsupervised rehabilitation exercise is contraindicated or the principal investigator deems the subject unsuitable for the clinical trial.
