Pre-surgical Information Session for People Who Must Undergo Shoulder Rotator Cuff Surgery

This is a randomized clinical trial with an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). As participants are visited by orthopedic surgery, they are referred to rehabilitation. Once in rehabilitation and in order of arrival of the rehabilitation requests, the participants will be randomized into groups of 8 people/week in the IG and the CG. The first group of 8 people will be IG and the following week the second group of 8 people will be CG and so on until reaching the required sample. The intervention will take place at the Rehabilitation Unit of the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa Participants will be anonymized and randomized into two groups: IG and CG. All participants will receive detailed information about the surgical procedure to which they will be subjected during the pre-surgical visit, carried out by the doctor specializing in orthopedic surgery. The information received will include risks and benefits and all participants will be able to ask any questions they may have. The IG will participate in an informational session prior to shoulder surgery. The session aims to: (1) Know the anatomy and functionality of the shoulder, (2) Understand why pain and functional disability appear, (3) Learn what to do to reduce symptoms, (4) Empower people to face the rehabilitation process. The CG will receive the usual rehabilitation protocol at the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa, which begins three weeks after the surgical intervention.
