NCT04511377

Brief Summary

The study aims to examine the effect of short-term rehabilitation exercise support using digital healthcare system (Uincare homeplus) in the patients with rotator cuff repair surgery. The study is a two-arm prospective randomized controlled study comparing the effect of rehabilitation exercise digital healthcare system at home with conventional brochure-based home exercise. Simple Shoulder Test (SST), Pain (using Numerical rating scale), shoulder range of motion (ROM), Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), quality of life using EQ-5D will be evaluation on enrollment, 6-weeks, 12-weeks and 24-weeks after enrollment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline Simple Shoulder Test (SST) on the affected shoulder

    Simple Shoulder Test is a self-reported shoulder-specific questionnaire that measures functional limitations of the affected shoulder in patients with shoulder dysfunction. The SST consists of 12 questions with dichotomous (yes/ no) response options. score ranges from 0 to 100, higher score meaning better shoulder function.

    Enrollment, 6-weeks, 12-weeks, 24-weeks

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) on the affected shoulder

    Enrollment, 6-weeks, 12-weeks, 24-weeks

  • Range of Motion (ROM) on the affected shoulder

    Enrollment, 6-weeks, 12-weeks, 24-weeks

  • Manual Muscle Test (MMT) on the affected arm

    Enrollment, 6-weeks, 12-weeks, 24-weeks

  • Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) on the affected arm

    Enrollment, 6-weeks, 12-weeks, 24-weeks

  • Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) on the affected shoulder

    Enrollment, 6-weeks, 12-weeks, 24-weeks

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

Uincare Homeplus is a device using infrared, kinect camera and motion capture technology to track 3D motion of the patients' posture and joint articulations. It also has embedded exercise training software dedicated to rotator cuff repair post-op rehabilitation at home. Home-based self-rehabilitation using brochure for 6 weeks post surgery (same as the active comparator) Home-based self-rehabilitation using digital healthcare system(Uincare Homeplus) for 6 to 12 weeks post surgery.

Also known as: Uincare Homeplus
