PREPS Trial Summary

This trial aims to create an online educational program to help Canadians prepare for shoulder replacement surgery, reducing pain, anxiety and re-injury. It'll also provide alternative care to those who can't access in-class programs.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 who are scheduled for total shoulder replacement surgery at HULC in no less than 9 weeks and can commit to the study for a year post-surgery. It's not suitable for those with exercise contraindications or those having hemi-arthroplasty.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an online pre-rehabilitation program (PREPS) against the standard WebEx class led by therapists before shoulder replacement surgery. One group gets PREPS, another PREPS plus therapy, and a third follows current standard care.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on education and prehabilitation programs rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience discomfort from exercises or anxiety about surgery.
