No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Postoperative rehabilitation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty aims to improve pain control, range of motion, and functional capacity. However, studies examining the effects of strengthening exercises targeting the humeral head depressor muscles are limited. This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of adding a specific strengthening program to standard rehabilitation on pain, range of motion, quality of life, and functional outcomes.

Conditions

  • Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
  • Depressor Muscle Training
  • Shoulder Rehabilitation

Interventions

OTHER

Conventional Rehabilitation Group

After randomization and baseline assessments, participants will undergo a standard 6-week postoperative shoulder rehabilitation program, consisting of range-of-motion exercises, scapular stabilization training, and progressive strengthening. No additional depressor muscle-specific exercises will be applied.

OTHER

Depressor Muscle Strengthening Group

After randomization and baseline assessments, participants will receive a 6-week rehabilitation program consisting of conventional postoperative shoulder rehabilitation combined with a specific strengthening protocol targeting the shoulder depressor muscles.
