Study on proximal humerus evaluation of effective treatment (SPHEER) - what is the effect of rehabilitation compliance on clinical outcomes of proximal humerus fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) are 3^rd commonest fragility fractures and cause significant functional impairment. This paper sought to determine impact of rehabilitation compliance on the clinical outcomes for non-surgically managed PHFs, while ascertaining reasons for non-compliance which can be addressed to improve compliance.

Methods

Prospective cohort study of patients undergoing non-surgical treatment for PHFs from August 2017 to April 2020 in a tertiary trauma centre was performed. Data was collected via questionnaire: patient demographic data, PHF injury details, clinical outcome measures, therapist-reported (Sport Injury Rehabilitation Adherence Scale [SIRAS]) and patient-reported (subjective compliance, frequency of exercise) rehabilitatio
