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

The WORC Index is a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess the quality of life in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy. It consists of 21 items across five domains: Physical Symptoms, Sports and Recreation, Work, Lifestyle, and Emotions. Each item is rated on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 100. The total score ranges from 0 to 2100, which can be converted to a percentage for easier interpretation. A higher percentage indicates better shoulder function. The WORC Index is widely used in clinical settings to evaluate symptoms, functional limitations, and treatment outcomes.

A brief, self-designed questionnaire was developed to measure overall satisfaction through patient satisfaction and willingness to recommend. It utilizes a 6-point Likert scale for responses.

The EQ-5D is a standardized questionnaire developed by the EuroQol Research Foundation to measure health-related quality of life. It consists of five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, each rated on a scale of severity. Additionally, it includes a visual analogue scale (EQ VAS) for the patient's self-rated health. The EQ-5D is widely used in clinical studies, health economics, and routine care to assess and compare quality of life across different health conditions and populations. It provides a simple, reliable, and internationally recognized tool for evaluating overall health status.

The Constant-Murley Score for self-evaluation, adapted by Boehm et al. in 2003, is a modified version of the original Constant-Murley Score that allows patients to independently assess their shoulder function. It includes parameters such as pain, activities of daily living, range of motion, and strength, scored on a standardized scale. This self-assessment tool provides a reliable and practical method for patients to evaluate their shoulder condition, enabling its use in clinical research and routine monitoring of treatment outcomes.

The Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) is a patient-reported numeric scale that reflects the subjective assessment of shoulder function. Patients rate their current shoulder function as a percentage compared to a normal, healthy shoulder, with 0% representing no function and 100% representing full, unrestricted function. Developed by Gilbart and Gerber in 2007, the SSV is a simple, quick, and reliable tool for evaluating subjective shoulder functionality. It is widely used in clinical studies and daily practice to monitor progress and document outcomes in shoulder conditions.

Patients are asked whether they have resumed the sport they practiced before the operation and at what level of performance they have returned (same level, slightly reduced, significantly reduced or no sport). In addition, it is recorded whether the sport is an overhead sport.

Patients are asked whether they have returned to their preoperative occupation or daily responsibilities. Additionally, it is recorded whether their work involves a desk job."

It is recorded whether a re-rupture has occurred postoperatively.
