Official title
THE EFFECT OF TASK-ORIENTED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY INTERVENTION ON ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION AFTER ROTATOR CUFF SURGERY: PRE- AND POST-INTERVENTION EVALUATION
Overview
Rotator cuff tears negatively affect shoulder stability, range of motion, and performance in daily activities. Postoperative rehabilitation is essential for improving functional recovery and quality of life; however, conventional approaches may not directly target meaningful activity performance. Task-oriented occupational therapy is a client-centered approach focusing on meaningful and goal-directed activities to enhance functional independence. This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of task-oriented occupational therapy on activity participation, occupational performance, satisfaction, and functional recovery after rotator cuff surgery. A total of 30 participants will be randomly assigned to either a task-oriented occupational therapy group or a conventional rehabilitation group. The intervention will be conducted twice weekly for 10 weeks, with 40-minute sessions based on individually prioritized activities identified using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Outcomes will include occupational performance and satisfaction, goal attainment, shoulder function, quality of life, and patient satisfaction.
Interventions
- Behavioral Task-oriented rehabilitation
In this intervention, following rotator cuff surgery, task-oriented occupational therapy sessions based on activities of daily living will be applied. These sessions will be conducted twice a week for 10 weeks and aim to achieve improvements in participants' activity performance and activity satisfaction. - Behavioral Conventional rehabilitation group
This intervention includes exercises aimed at improving joint range of motion, enhancing muscle strength, and supporting muscle flexibility.
Primary outcome measures
- Occupational performance and satisfaction measured by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) [Time frame: Baseline and after 10 weeks of intervention]
