Efficacy of Early Multimodal Physiotherapy in Patients With Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Efficacy of Early Multimodal Physiotherapy in Patients With Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
The present study try to evaluate the effectivenness of an early intervention program based on multimodal physiotherapy and focused on therapeutic exercise to improve the results of patients with a reverse shoulder phrostesis. This trial will be a randomized controlled trial with parallel groups, and outcomes variables will include psychometric properties through the use of specific questionnaries, and laboratory variables such as strength with a dynamometer, range of movement with a goniometer, muscle mass with an ultrasound, and kinematic parameters with inertial sensors. This study aims to develop an original intervention program in order to try to establish new protocols in the management of these patients.
Background: Shoulder fractures, shoulder osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis have a high prevalence and many times they require a surgery, in which a reverse shoulder phrostesis is colocated. Nonetheless, nowadays there is no a clear consensus protocol in order to manage the prehabilitation and rehabilitation of this patient, so each physiotherapist use different techniques to treat this pathology.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an original intervention program (REMOVE program) focused on an early intervention based on therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and education to improve the functionality of these patients after surgery.
Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial with parallel groups. The control group receive standard care, and the experimental group is subjected to the REMOVE program. Both groups are evaluated five times, pre-surgery, at baseline, at 6 weeks, at 12 weeks and at 24 weeks to assess psychometric and laboratory outcomes.
