TASK-ORIENTED REHABILITATION AFTER ROTATOR CUFF SURGERY
A study testing Task-oriented rehabilitation and Conventional rehabilitation group in people with Rotator Cuff Tear Repair, run by Medipol University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Rotator cuff tears negatively affect shoulder stability, range of motion, and performance in daily activities. Postoperative rehabilitation is essential for improving functional recovery and quality of life; however, conventional approaches may not directly target meaningful activity performance.

About this study
Official title: THE EFFECT OF TASK-ORIENTED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY INTERVENTION ON ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION AFTER ROTATOR CUFF SURGERY: PRE- AND POST-INTERVENTION EVALUATION
Rotator cuff tears negatively affect shoulder stability, range of motion, and performance in daily activities. Postoperative rehabilitation is essential for improving functional recovery and quality of life; however, conventional approaches may not directly target meaningful activity performance.
Task-oriented occupational therapy is a client-centered approach focusing on meaningful and goal-directed activities to enhance functional independence. This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of task-oriented occupational therapy on activity participation, occupational performance, satisfaction, and functional recovery after rotator cuff surgery.
A total of 30 participants will be randomly assigned to either a task-oriented occupational therapy group or a conventional rehabilitation group. The intervention will be conducted twice weekly for 10 weeks, with 40-minute sessions based on individually prioritized activities identified using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Outcomes will include occupational performance and satisfaction, goal attainment, shoulder function, quality of life, and patient satisfaction.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Task-oriented rehabilitationBehavioural
In this intervention, following rotator cuff surgery, task-oriented occupational therapy sessions based on activities of daily living will be applied. These sessions will be conducted twice a week for 10 weeks and aim to achieve improvements in participants' activity performance and activity satisfaction.
Conventional rehabilitation groupBehavioural
This intervention includes exercises aimed at improving joint range of motion, enhancing muscle strength, and supporting muscle flexibility.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Task-oriented intervention group | Experimental | In this group patient who have undergone rototor cuff surgery will receive a task oriented exercise program based on activities off daily living conducted twice a week for ten weeks. Receives: Behavioral: Task-oriented rehabilitation |
| Conventional rehabilitation group | Active comparator | Participants included in the conventional intervention group will continue with the standard rehabilitation program applied in the postoperative period. Receives: Behavioral: Conventional rehabilitation group |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Occupational performance and satisfaction measured by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)
Occupational performance and satisfaction will be assessed using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The change in COPM performance and satisfaction scores from baseline to post-intervention will be evaluated.
Measured: Baseline and after 10 weeks of intervention
