Trial summary

Shoulder pain is a common and high prevalence in the general population. Subacromial Syndrome (Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS)) is the most frequent cause. SIS patients suffering pain, muscle weakness and loss of movement in the affected joint. Initial treatment of the SIS is predominantly conservative. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation Program Following Surgery Procedures in Subacromial Syndrome Compared With Traditional Therapy. A Randomized Clinical Trial (Telerehab)

Shoulder pain is a common and high prevalence in the general population. Subacromial Syndrome (Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS)) is the most frequent cause. SIS patients suffering pain, muscle weakness and loss of movement in the affected joint. Initial treatment of the SIS is predominantly conservative. Surgical option has high success rates and is often used when conservative strategy fails. Traditional Physiotherapy and Postoperative exercises is needed to the recovery of joint range, muscle strength, stability and functionality. This Research evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of a telerehabilitatión Program in SIS after surgery compared with traditional therapy.

Read the detailed description

In addition to traditional physiotherapy, Telerehabilitation programs have proven their effectiveness, validity, noninferiority and important advantages in various neurological, cognitive diseases and musculoskeletal disorders; meaning an opportunity to define new social and intervention policies.

Subjects are randomly assigned to 1) Telerehabilitation Group 2) Traditional Therapy Group. After randomization, patients in both groups received an initial evaluation. Data will be collected by a blinded evaluator.

The Telerehabilitation group receives a standardized and customized exercises to perform, through a web application that allows the Physiotherapist generate videos, images and parameters of each exercise program and send them via email for each patient.

Telerehabilitation program describes the exercises to be performed, the number of repetitions depending on the level of training and criteria for progression.

Patients are initially supervised by a physiotherapist who will conduct three training sessions through individual videoconference, to ensure proper execution of exercises and encourage patient adherence. Patients are instructed to perform self-workout video exercises following Telerehabilitation program as well as a supporting document we call Telerehabilitation Manual Patient.

Traditional group receives assistance in a physiotherapy center through the usual procedure of rehabilitation in Spain, personalized therapy consisting of 1 to 1 with a physical therapist and exercise programs at home.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in Simple Shoulder Test (SST) score

    Simple Shoulder Test is a validated instrument that features 12 one-dimensional answers questions with dichotomous (Yes / No). It is a short questionnaire (2-3 minutes), easy to understand and fulfill what gives validity and comparability with other subjective questionnaires. The total score of 12 questions (2 related to pain, 7 on the force, and 3 on the range of motion) where 0 is the worst result and 100 if the best shoulder function is measured, calculated based on the number of positive responses multiplied by 100. questionnaire. The internal consistency of the test was measured by Cronbach's alpha = 0.85. We will assess changes in this test score.

    Measured: Initial, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in Constant Shoulder test Score

    Constant score is an assessment tool universally used and accepted for shoulder function. It includes a subjective assessment of pain and ability to perform daily activities (work, sport, dream and positioning of the hand in space), and an objective assessment of mobility and strength through physical examination. We will assess changes in this test score.

    Measured: Initial, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks
