UNASSIGNED: We attempted to determine the feasibility of studying prehabilitation exercises to improve shoulder @entity158 and abduction range of motion (ROM) after @entity0 surgery. We evaluated methods of exercise teaching and assessed effect on postsurgical @entity2080 formation. This was a feasibility study with two non-blinded groups of subjects randomized by timing of appointment. This single-site study was performed at an academic tertiary medical center. Sixty @entity5 @entity1 were randomly assigned to either group 1, in- @entity1 teaching arm, n   =   36, or group 2, video-only teaching arm, n   =   24. Forty-five @entity1 completed the study. Shoulder exercises were assigned to both groups 1  month prior to surgery during evaluation. Group 1 received in- @entity1 instruction on exercises, plus an information sheet with exercises and a link to an online video. Group 2 received only the information sheet with exercises and a link to the online video. The primary outcomes considered are as follows: exercise compliance, shoulder @entity158 (via visual analog scale), shoulder abduction ROM (via goniometer), and presence or absence of @entity2080 . Seventy-six percent of study @entity1 chose to exercise. There was no difference in exercise compliance between in- @entity1 teaching versus video teaching (75  %, 24/32 vs. 77  %, 10/13, OR   =   1.03). Sixty-six of @entity1 (20/30) lost greater than 10   shoulder abduction ROM at 1  month post surgery. Twenty-nine of @entity1 (9/31) had worse shoulder @entity158 than baseline at 1  month post surgery (24  %, 6/25 exercisers, and 50  %, 3/6 non-exercisers). Fifteen percent of @entity1 (4/27) had worse shoulder @entity158 than baseline at 3  months post surgery (8  %, 2/23 exercisers, and 100  %, 2/2 non-exercisers). Prehabilitation exercise program inferred no additional risk of @entity2080 formation (Exercisers 21  %, 7/33 vs. non-exercisers 22  %, 2/9, OR   =   0.94). Our subjects were able to perform three exercises independently in the preoperative period. A high-quality randomized controlled trial is necessary to assess the appropriate timing and efficacy of this intervention.
