Brief Summary

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

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) - the use of medical applications in healthcare settings - include tools that can support self-management after surgery and thereby contribute to early postoperative recovery. Providing patients with timely and interactive information through mHealth is hypothesized to positively influence recovery after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of interactive and personalized information and rehabilitation protocol with a mobile application compared to generic information and generic rehabilitation protocol (standard care) on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing primary RSA.

Methods and analysis: A multicentre randomised controlled trial will be conducted in two Dutch hospitals. In total 170 patients undergoing elective, primary RSA will be included. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of the two groups on a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group will receive interactive postoperative information on a daily basis. The control group will receive standard care. The primary outcome is defined as functional recovery measured using the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) at 6 weeks. Secondary outcomes are: pain, physical functioning, quality of life, length of stay, complications, treatment satisfaction and app use. The between group difference will be analysed using linear mixed-effects regression.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This study is a multicentre, single-blinded (assessor), two-armed, parallel-group RCT designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a an interactive mHealth application to standard care (non-interactive app) in the rehabilitation period of patients undergoing RSA.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
Because the application relies on interaction between patient and clinical care team, both the patient and clinicians cannot be blinded. The researcher that will perform data analysis will be blinded to group allocation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Personalized rehabilitation program

The intervention group receives an interactive app that is different from the control is different from the control group in that it provides interactive and personalized information and a personalized rehabilitation program. Both the timing and the amount and nature of the exercises are personalized.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

interactive mHealth application for patients undergoing RSA

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will receive interactive information via an mHealth application tailored to their needs and progress during the rehabilitation period after RSA.

Standard care

The control group will receive postoperative information and a rehabilitation program via the non-interactive application, which is current standard care

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

interactive mHealth application for patients undergoing RSA

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will receive interactive information via an mHealth application tailored to their needs and progress during the rehabilitation period after RSA.
