Summary

The main objective of the study is to compare the clinical effects of the innovative telerehabilitation approach (TELE group) compared to face-to-face visits to a clinic (CLINIC group) for patients treated for a proximal humerus fracture.

Conditions

  • Humeral Fractures, Proximal

Interventions

OTHER

Rehabilitation (Physiotherapy)

The training program will be carried out twice a day, and at every day during the eight-week program, either by telerehabilitation or in the clinic or by autonomous unsupervised way. During weeks 1, 3 and 5, the patient will perform his/her exercises twice a week by telerehabilitation/clinic and the other without supervision. During the other weeks (2, 4, 6, 7, 8), the patient will benefit from one exercise session by telerehabilitation/clinic per week and will perform all other without supervision. Supervised sessions allow the therapist and the patient to adjust the program in case of problems and to ensure a smooth implementation of the program.
