Study Summary
A common operation for various shoulder conditions is a total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). In cases with severe rotator cuff tears or other conditions, a variant of the procedure called a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty may be performed. It is unclear whether or not patients require formal physical therapy (as opposed to no physical therapy with recommended avoided movements) after reverse TSA. Orthopaedic surgeons have varying opinions on the postoperative rehabilitation protocol for reverse TSA, with some surgeons not prescribing any physical therapy. The purpose of this study is to randomize patients into two groups: one that sees a physical therapist after their reverse TSA, and one that is provided with actions not to perform and are allowed to self-rehabilitate.
