What this trial studies

This multicenter randomized trial in two Dutch hospitals compares an interactive, personalized mHealth rehabilitation program to generic postoperative care after primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty. About 170 adults will be enrolled and randomly assigned to either intervention or standard care. The study focuses on postoperative recovery outcomes and uses a mobile app to deliver tailored information and rehab protocols. Participants must own a smart device, be able to use it, and be proficient in Dutch. Results will inform whether personalized digital guidance can enhance recovery in RSA patients.
