Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the rehabilitation by use of a smartphone-app with the usual care of physical therapy in patients, 60 years and older, who underwent a primary shoulder arthroplasty.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • is the outcome of rehabilitation with the app as good as the usual care?
  • is the outcome for both types of shoulder arthroplasty similar?
  • what is the usability of the app?.

Participants will

  • have treatment according to the group they are allocated to
  • fill in questionnaires at specific moments during the rehabilitation stage (0 - 3 months ) and at 1 year post-surgery

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

SHOULDER PAIN AND DISABILITY INDEX (SPADI)_baseline pre-operative

Time Frame: Prior to surgery

Content: 5 questions for the subscale pain and 8 questions for the disability subscale. Scoring: numeric rating scale from 1 to 10, with a maximum of 130. The total score is the sum of the sub-scores. Interpretation: The higher the score the more pain and disability. The lower the score, the better patients perceive their shoulder

SHOULDER PAIN AND DISABILITY INDEX (SPADI)

Time Frame: week 52

Content: 5 questions for the subscale pain and 8 questions for the disability subscale. Scoring: numeric rating scale from 1 to 10, with a maximum of 130. The total score is the sum of the sub-scores. Interpretation: The higher the score the more pain and disability. The lower the score, the better patients perceive their shoulder

SHOULDER PAIN AND DISABILITY INDEX (SPADI)_baseline post-operative

Time Frame: week 0

Content: 5 questions for the subscale pain and 8 questions for the disability subscale. Scoring: numeric rating scale from 1 to 10, with a maximum of 130. The total score is the sum of the sub-scores. Interpretation: The higher the score the more pain and disability. The lower the score, the better patients perceive their shoulder

  • SELF-EFFICACY FOR EXERCISES (SEE)(Week 3, week 6, week 12, week 52)
  • GLOBAL RATING OF CHANGE SCALE (GROC)(Prior to surgery, week 3, week 6, week 12, week 52)
  • GLOBAL PERCEIVED EFFECT (GPE/GEE)(Prior to surgery, week 3, week 6, week 12, week 52)
