The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the rehabilitation by use of a smartphone-app with the usual care of physical therapy in patients, 60 years and older, who underwent a primary shoulder arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are: is the outcome of rehabilitation with the app as good as the usual care? is the outcome for both types of shoulder arthroplasty similar? what is the usability of the app?. Participants will have treatment according to the group they are allocated to fill in questionnaires at specific moments during the rehabilitation stage (0 - 3 months ) and at 1 year post-surgery
