Objectives

Identify the primary instability precautions after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (A: Internal Rotation and horizontal adduction) • Identify how the change in mechanics creates potential for scapular abutment (A: Roll and glide in the same direction increases translation) • Identify the maximum Passive Range of Motion that can be expected from a Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis (A:120-140 degrees, depending on the components and technique) • Identify appropriate functional expectations 12 weeks after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (A: Ability to reach ear to rear and the area in between) Identify the primary instability precautions after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (A: Internal Rotation and horizontal adduction) • Identify how the change in mechanics creates potential for scapular abutment (A: Roll and glide in the same direction increases translation) • Identify the maximum Passive Range of Motion that can be expected from a Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis (A:120-140 degrees, depending on the components and technique) • Identify appropriate functional expectations 12 weeks after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (A: Ability to reach ear to rear and the area in between) Identify the primary instability precautions after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (A: Internal Rotation and horizontal adduction) • Identify how the change in mechanics creates potential for scapular abutment (A: Roll and glide in the same direction increases translation) • Identify the maximum Passive Range of Motion that can be expected from a Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis (A:120-140 degrees, depending on the components and technique) • Identify appropriate functional expectations 12 weeks after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (A: Ability to reach ear to rear and the area in between) Identify the primary instability precautions after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (A: Internal Rotation and horizontal adduction) • Identify how the change in mechanics creates potential for scapular abutment (A: Roll and glide in the same direction increases translation) • Identify the maximum Passive Range of Motion that can be expected from a Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis (A:120-140 degrees, depending on the components and technique) • Identify appropriate functional expectations 12 weeks after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (A: Ability to reach ear to rear and the area in between)

Agenda

RSA surgical procedure, indications Practical Mechanics Expectations and Goal Setting Exercise Progression (Video) Common Pitfalls Outcomes Q/A Session

Description

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is gaining acceptance as a surgical solution for cuff tear arthropathy and complex humeral fractures. While therapists are seeing more of these patients, rehabilitation and precautions after this procedure have not been widely discussed. This presentation will give clinicians confidence by thoroughly addressing RSA mechanics, considerations, and pitfalls. Attendees will understand a logical, specific progression of post-operative management to achieve maximum outcomes while managing expectations and therapy visits.
