Overview

reverse shoulder replacement surgery is performed to improve the functionality and reduce pain of the affected shoulder. Now, it is necessary to carry out an appropriate rehabilitation process to optimize surgical results. The lack of health resources makes it essential for the patient to work autonomously once hospital rehabilitation is completed. But lack of adherence is one of the main barriers to recovery

Description

The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Chatbot that interacts with patients via instant messaging to supervise home rehabilitation and increase adherence. Conduct a feasibility study with a pilot sample

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing reverse shoulder replacement
  • With a personal smartphone
  • An instant messaging application installed
  • Familiar with the use of such an application (i.e., at least three accessess per week)
  • Able to write and read in the Spanish language

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Condition, whether cognitive, neurological, integrative or musculoskeletal, that obviously prevents understanding or performing the exercises of the rehabilitation program or may pose a risk to the patient's health.
