简要总结
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a complex surgical procedure requiring thorough rehabilitation, and its frequency is increasing globally. While previous studies have quantitatively examined postoperative outcomes, such as pain levels and shoulder function, no research has yet explored patients' subjective experiences of the rehabilitation process before and after surgery. Purpose of the study was to explore patients' experiences of undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty and the associated rehabilitation process.
详细描述
Surgery with total shoulder arthroplasty is a procedure that has increased in number in the last twenty years, and it is the third most common prosthetic surgery in the world after hip and knee. There are two types of shoulder arthroplasty, anatomical and reverse. When the rotator cuff is severely impaired or completely dysfunctional, a reverse shoulder prosthesis is used, in which the anatomical positions of the ball and socket are reversed.
There are thus several factors that the treating physiotherapist needs to take into account. Research on reverse shoulder arthroplasty has primarily focused on evaluations using quantitative measures. Qualitative research from the patient's perspective can provide a deeper understanding of their expectations and experiences, offering insights that complement and fill the gaps left by quantitative research. Gaining insight into patients' experiences would be valuable for physiotherapists working with this group, as it may help identify areas for improvement in care to better meet patients' needs.

结局指标
主要结局
Patients' experiences of undergoing surgery and rehabilitation with reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
时间窗: From time of surgery to end of rehabilitation, approximately 0-7,8 months.
Qualitative semi structured individual in-depth interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Fifteen persons, women and men, who had undergone surgery with reverse shoulder arthroplasty between six to twelve months previously, were recruited to the study.
