Early exercise after shoulder surgery shows promise in new trial
NCT ID NCT06357143
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether starting a special exercise program soon after reverse shoulder replacement surgery helps patients recover better. Forty adults who have had this surgery will be randomly assigned to either the early physiotherapy program or standard care. Researchers will measure shoulder function, strength, movement, and muscle size to see if the early program leads to better outcomes.
