Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score

    DASH - Measures symptoms and degree of function related to a disorder in the upper extremity. The DASH Outcome Measure is scored in two components: the disability/symptom section (30 items, scored 1-5) and the optional high performance Sport/Music or Work section (4 items, scored 1-5). At least 27 of the 30 items must be completed for a score to be calculated. The assigned values for all completed responses are simply summed and averaged, producing a score out of five. This value is then transformed to a score out of 100 by subtracting one and multiplying by 25. This transformation is done to make the score easier to compare to other measures scaled on a 0-100 scale. A higher score indicates greater disability.

    At baseline and at one month follow-up.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Constant-Murley (CM) score.

    At baseline and at one month follow-up.

Study Arms (2)

eFisioTrack Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Use of the eFisioTrack platform in the experimental group to perform active exercises as part of their shoulder rehabilitation. These will. bee performed independently by each patient in a hospital room, using the efisioTrack system without supervision by the physiotherapist. The subjects will be previously instructed in the use of the system in two 20-minute sessions. The type of exercise and its parameters will be chosen and progressed considering the functional status of the patient and being similar to those executed under the physiotherapist's supervision.

Procedure: eFisioTrack Group

Excercises Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients who performed the exercise program supervised by the physical physiotherapist in a hospital room.

Procedure: Excercises Group

Interventions

Application of manual therapy and physical modalities together with completion of the exercise program for functional recovery of the upper extremity using the efisioTrack system without supervision by the physiotherapist.
