Do patients benefit from a home exercise program with or without functional electromyostimulation initiated 1 year after reverse shoulder arthroplasty? A prospective randomized controlled trial
Self-directed functional FES improves rTSA function when initiated one year after primary surgery. FES may be a beneficial adjuvant to rTSA rehabilitation due to its low adverse event rate and its availability for home-based training. Further research is needed to examine if the results remain advantageous at mid-to-long-term follow-up.
