Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)/Prehabilitation - Randomized Controlled Trial on the Implementation of ERAS/prehabilitation in Elective Reconstructive Shoulder Surgery

"The waiting time until the operation is about 6 weeks. The intervention is carried out during this time:~The intervention group receives a brochure with an evidence-based exercise program for the shoulder and shoulder girdle. The brochure contains pages in which the patient documents how the exercises are carried out. The exercise program is supplemented by information in the form of a video/Power Point presentation on: Anatomy/function, pain management, hospitalization and subsequent rehabilitation.~After 2 and after 4 weeks, the physiotherapist who has explained the exercise program will contact you by telephone/zoom."

The control group receives a leaflet with general information for the period up to the operation (e.g. buy water-resistant plasters, arrange post-op physiotherapy appointments).
