Abstract

Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of established regime and physiotherapy treatment described by Brems on patients after reverse arthroplasty of shoulder joint, their ability to perform activities of daily living, functional status of the shoulder girdle, and a range of motion. Methods: The research sample consisted of 60 patients, 57±2.9 years, with implanted total reverse endoprosthesis of shoulder joint. To assess the ability of performing the activities of daily living, we used the Simple Shoulder Test. Functional status of shoulder joint was evaluated through a “Constant Score” questionnaire. The range of movement was evaluated through the “Constant Score – Range of Motion“ questionnaire. The examined parameters were evaluated before surgery and a month after the surgery. During the one-month post-surgery period, all participants undergone the set of targeted physiotherapy treatment and kept the established regime. After one month of targeted physiotherapeutical treatment and correct regime management we observed significant differences in all examined parameters (p<0.001). Results: After one month of post-surgery physiotherapy, significant differences in the ability to perform certain activities of daily living, functioning of the operated shoulder joint and in the range of movement, have been reported. Conclusion: The results of our study confirmed that if patients follow this specific rehabilitation protocol and cooperate during various stages of recovery, there is a high probability that after one month, they can perform activities of daily living.
