Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults over 18 with adhesive capsulitis, either idiopathic or associated with systemic diseases like diabetes.

Probably not a fit

Patients with cognitive impairments, recent shoulder surgeries, or other specified shoulder conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of robotic training compared to conventional rehabilitation methods for patients suffering from adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. It focuses on enhancing patient autonomy through innovative rehabilitation techniques that incorporate robotics and virtual reality. The study will involve patients over 18 years of age who experience shoulder pain or movement limitations, and will exclude those with certain medical histories that could affect outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve rehabilitation outcomes for patients with adhesive capsulitis.

How similar studies have gone: While robotic rehabilitation is a growing field, this specific approach to adhesive capsulitis is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
