About This Trial
Difficulty with internal rotation (IR) after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is common. Current rehabilitation protocols may not optimize IR. The investigator's objective is to assess the impact of prehabilitation focused on IR strengthening and mobility on RSA outcomes. The investigators will perform a prospective, randomized control trial to achieve the specific aim: assessing range of motio…
