This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of animated video instruction combined with practical demonstration videos on rehabilitation outcomes in 140 patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The experimental group showed significantly higher exercise compliance rates at 6 weeks (90.00% vs 71.43%), improved brace usage accuracy, and better Constant-Murley Scores compared to the control group, indicating enhanced recovery and satisfaction.

Key findings

  • Exercise compliance rates at 6 weeks were 90.00% in the experimental group versus 71.43% in the control group.
  • Correct brace usage at 6 weeks was 88.57% in the experimental group compared to 58.57% in the control group.
  • The experimental group had a lower complication rate of 8.57% versus 24.29% in the control group.
  • 85.71% of the experimental group reported being 'very satisfied' with nursing care compared to 54.29% in the control group.

Why it matters

Improving postoperative rehabilitation compliance and outcomes is crucial for patient recovery. This study suggests that incorporating video-based instruction can enhance understanding and adherence to rehabilitation protocols, potentially leading to better functional recovery and reduced complications.
