Official title

Telerehabilitation for Shoulder Surgery Recovery: A Randomized Trial Assessing the Effectiveness of the Band Connect Platform

Overview

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation protocol utilizing the Band Connect platform in patient recovery following rotator cuff repair surgery. This will be a randomized control trial with patients assigned into a traditional rehabilitation or a telerehabilitation protocol.

Interventions

  • Device Band Connect
    The Band Connect device has two main components: smart handles and resistance bands in varying lengths and resistance. The smart handles transfer data back to a phone app, which provides the patient instructions for their prescribed treatment as well as simulated biofeedback to ensure appropriate technique. The sensor function of Band Connect allows physical therapists to track participant movements to assess physical therapy activity. No video is being recorded of the participant.
  • Behavioral Physical Therapy
    Standard physical therapy exercises for rotator cuff surgery rehabilitation.

Primary outcome measures

  • Change in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) [Time frame: Baseline, Month 6]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
  • Change in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Pain Score [Time frame: Baseline, Month 6]
  • Change in PROMIS Upper Extremity - Short Form 7a Score [Time frame: Baseline, Month 6]
  • Change in Days Per Week of Physical Therapy [Time frame: Baseline, Month 6]
  • Change in Intensity of Physical Therapy [Time frame: Baseline, Month 6]
