Study Summary

This trial compares home-based rehabilitation with an app to office-based physical therapy after shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see if outcomes are the same.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had a primary reverse shoulder replacement due to specific conditions like cuff tear arthropathy, massive rotator cuff tears, osteoarthritis, or inflammatory arthritis. Participants must have a compatible smartphone for the mymobility app. It's not for those with additional tendon procedures, previous shoulder replacements, under 18s, or if they need inpatient rehab post-surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether using the Zimmer Biomet mymobility app for self-directed physical therapy after shoulder replacement surgery gives the same recovery results as standard office-based physical therapy sessions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive digital and standard physical therapies rather than medication or surgical interventions, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience typical discomfort associated with any physical rehabilitation process.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: mymobility Physical TherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The mymobility Physical Therapy cohort will complete an identical protocol to the Standard Office-based Physical Therapy cohort with one exception: the mymobility cohort's therapy for the entire duration of the protocol is administered at home through the mymobility application. This cohort initiates use of the mymobilty application one postoperative day 1. Exercises and restrictions are described in-depth in the Study Protocol document.
Group II: Standard Office-based Physical TherapyActive Control1 Intervention
The Standard Office-based Physical Therapy cohort completes an identical protocol to the mymobility Physical Therapy cohort with one exception: rather than through use of the mymobility application, the Standard Office-based Physical Therapy cohort's protocol is administered through the traditional means of an exercise handout for postoperative day 1 through 2 weeks followed by formal office-based physical therapy for the duration of the protocol. Exercises and restrictions are described in-depth in the Study Protocol document.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many locations are implementing this scientific experiment?

"At the moment, this trial is enrolling patients from 4 sites. These medical centres are situated in Weston, Columbus and Philadelphia as well as one other area. To reduce necessary travel for participants, they should choose a clinic close to their residence if possible."

Answered by AI

Does this medical experiment still have room to accommodate more participants?

"As evident on clinicaltrials.gov, this particular trial is no longer accepting participants. This study was made available to the public on September 1st 2023 and last updated August 7th of that same year. Fortunately, there are 28 other studies looking for enrollees at present."
