Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of video-assisted training (VAT) on upper extremity problems and functions in rotator cuff repair (RCR) patients. The hypothesis of this study is that VAT decreases upper extremity problems and increases functions after RCR.

Detailed description

Methods: Forty-eight elective RCR patients were randomly assigned to VAT and control groups. VAT group (n=24) received VAT including early post-operative care for RCR, activities of daily living (ADL) and gradual exercise program while control group (n=24) received routine care. Primary outcomes were upper extremity problems and functions, assessed using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Modified Constant-Murley (MCM) scores. Secondary outcomes were complications within three months. Outcomes were collected at baseline, after six weeks and three months.

Conditions

• Rotator Cuff Repair

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	video-assisted training	The patients in the VAT group watch a training video in the patient rooms before RCR. The VAT prepared by the researchers consisted of information about things to pay attention to in the hospital in the early period after RCR (nursing care on post-operative day 1, early mobilization, pain control, shoulder protection, and wearing/removing the shoulder sling), maintaining ADL at home (bathing, nutrition, eating, sleeping position, driving, doing household chores, sexual life, worship, and safety measures to be taken at home) and gradual exercise programs (for the first 90 days after discharge).
