Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Degenerative shoulder disorders are frequent in the Danish population and often cause disability and sick leave. After hospital discharge patients are often referred to physiotherapy rehabilitation as part of the treatment, and it is often assumed that one-on-one sessions will yield better results than group-based sessions, because individual needs can be better meet and targeted

The project aims to evaluate the effect and cost-effectiveness of group- based exercise rehabilitation as compared to individual exercise rehabilitation in patients with degenerative shoulder disorders.
