Virtual Reality Rehabilitation for Shoulder Pathologies 15 Exercise-Based Virtual

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT06963983 is an interventional study for Shoulder Instability, Frozen Shoulder, Rotator Cuff Tears that is recruiting. It started on October 28, 2024 with plans to enroll 15 participants. Led by La Tour Hospital, it is expected to complete by June 28, 2025. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on May 9, 2025.
Brief Summary
Most rehabilitation protocols require patients to train the affected limbs with high regularity, following repetitive cycles of exercises, in order to recover mobility and strength. Nonetheless, the repetitive nature of these exercises can demotivate patients leading to less intense and committed training, if not ending with a lack of compliance toward the prescribed exercises, ultimately leading to a suboptimal reco...Show More

Rehabilitation using virtual reality
During the four physiotherapy (PT) sessions (60 min for each session), a set of exercises from the conventional PT is replaced by multiple short sessions of 30 minutes each, where the patient will be equipped by a set of motion trackers mounted on a belt and on a set of straps to be worn around both arms and both forearms. The patient will also hold a controller in each hand and wear a commercial VR headset on his he...Show More
