Core Tip This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of digitally assisted vs conventional home-based rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair. Findings from three randomized controlled trials suggest that digital rehabilitation offers comparable outcomes in Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores and range of motion—with a significant improvement in abduction—highlighting its potential as an accessible, patient-friendly alternative to traditional methods. While promising, broader implementation requires addressing barriers like digital literacy, access, and privacy concerns.
