Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) aids to reduce these challenges through its three phases.

Primary outcome was pain (NPRS), and secondary outcomes were kinesiophobia (TSK), shoulder function (Quick DASH), and mobility (goniometer). Assessments occurred pre-operatively, 3rd post-op day pre-rehab, and post-\u00ad\u00adrehab after 3 weeks. Phase 1 GMI began post-immobilization (day 3) in the hospital; Phases 2 and 3 followed on alternate days after discharge via home or OPD sessions according to the convenience of the
