Sweden15 participantsStarted 2022-04-21

Plain-language summary

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a complex surgical procedure requiring thorough rehabilitation, and its frequency is increasing globally. While previous studies have quantitatively examined postoperative outcomes, such as pain levels and shoulder function, no research has yet explored patients' subjective experiences of the rehabilitation process before and after surgery. Purpose of the study was to explore patients' experiences of undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty and the associated rehabilitation process.
