This is a trial comparing self-directed rehabilitation using the Zimmer Biomet mymobility digital platform versus standard office-based physical therapy after reverse shoulder replacement. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in the postoperative outcomes between the mymobility cohort and the standard office-based physical therapy cohort.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing a self-directed rehabilitation protocol using the Zimmer Biomet mymobility digital platform versus standard office based physical therapy protocol after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Subjects will be randomly assigned to the Treatment Cohort (mymobility Physical Therapy) or the Control Cohort (Standard Office-based Physical Therapy). Randomization will occur following completion of a signed consent form. Each Participating Site will receive sealed, numbered randomization envelopes from the Lead Site. The treatment cohort is mymobility PT. If the subject is randomized to this cohort, the Participating Site will assist the subject to download the mymobility mobile application (app) during the preoperative visit. The app has a video of each of the exercises to be completed per phase of the rehabilitation protocol beginning on postop day one. The control cohort is Standard office PT. Home exercises begin on postoperative day one with office visits beginning after the 2 week postoperative visit. Subject data will be collected through the 6-month postoperative visit.
