Physiotherapy rehabilitation experiences of people with shoulder dislocation in ARTISAN study: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute Rehabilitation following Traumatic anterior shoulder dISlocAtioN (ARTISAN) was a large trial comparing the clinical and cost-effectiveness of two rehabilitation interventions in adults with a first-time traumatic shoulder dislocation. Participants were allocated to receive either a single session of advice (ARTISAN) or a single session of advice and a programme of physiotherapy (ARTISAN plus). Trial results illustrated that additional physiotherapy after an initial session was not superior in improving functional outcomes for participants.

Objectives

In this study, we aim to explore the experiences of a purposive sample of participants from both the ARTISAN and ARTISAN plus groups regarding their rehabilitation journey.
