What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical effect of a mobile application supporting home-based rehabilitation for the patients after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The investigators hypothesized the clinical results of the patients using a mobile application (APP) to support the home-based rehabilitation were comparable to the patients receiving the supervised rehabilitation. This prospective randomized case-control study was approved by the institutional review board of the Kaohsiung Veteran General Hospital (IRB No. KSVGH18-CT12-15) prior to enroll any patients. Patients were recruited if they had a small to medium-sized full-thickness rotator cuff tear or, a Lafosse type II or III subscapularis tear diagnosed and then repaired under shoulder arthroscope. After the surgery, patients were randomized either to the home-based rehabilitation (the home group) or the hospital

Inclusion Criteria: * patients had a small to medium-sized (less than 3 cm) full-thickness rotator cuff tear or, a Lafosse type II or III subscapularis tear diagnosed and repaired by shoulder arthroscope * patients were willing to consent to post-operative rehabilitation randomization and commit to the two-year clinical follow-up period. Exclusion Criteria: * pre-operative shoulder stiffness (defined as passive forward elevation less than 100 degrees and external rotation loss over 50% comparing to the contralateral side) * an intra-operative irreparable cuff tear * a prior ipsilateral shoulder surgery * a history of systemic auto-immune disease or septic arthritis of the ipsilateral shoulder
