Effect of Video-Assisted Training on Upper Extremity Problems and Functions in Patients Undergoing Rotator Cuff Repair

Rotator Cuff Repair Clinical Trial

Official title: The Effect of Video-Assisted Training on Upper Extremity Problems and Functions in Patients Undergoing Rotator Cuff Repair: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of video-assisted training (VAT) on upper extremity problems and functions in rotator cuff repair (RCR) patients. The hypothesis of this study is that VAT decreases upper extremity problems and increases functions after RCR.

Clinical Trial Description

Methods: Forty-eight elective RCR patients were randomly assigned to VAT and control groups. VAT group (n=24) received VAT including early post-operative care for RCR, activities of daily living (ADL) and gradual exercise program while control group (n=24) received routine care. Primary outcomes were upper extremity problems and functions, assessed using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Modified Constant-Murley (MCM) scores. Secondary outcomes were complications within three months. Outcomes were collected at baseline, after six weeks and three months. ;
