Does Undergoing a Prehabilitation Protocol Aimed at Optimizing Scapulothoracic Mobility and Strengthening Improve Internal Rotation After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty?

Does Undergoing a Prehabilitation Protocol Aimed at Optimizing Scapulothoracic Mobility and Strengthening Improve Internal Rotation After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty? A Randomized Controlled Trial


Sponsor

University of Florida

Enrollment

64 participants

Start Date

Nov 6, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Difficulty with internal rotation (IR) after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is common. Current rehabilitation protocols may not optimize IR. The investigator's objective is to assess the impact of prehabilitation focused on IR strengthening and mobility on RSA outcomes. The investigators will perform a prospective, randomized control trial to achieve the specific aim: assessing range of motion, strength, patient-reported outcomes, and activities of daily living requiring internal rotation between control and prehabilitation cohorts, with the prehabilitation patients receiving 6 weeks of treatment.
