This study is testing a new device called BAND Connect's VirtuaCare™ platform to see if it can help people stick to their at-home physical therapy exercises after shoulder surgery. Many patients don't fully complete their prescribed exercises at home, which can slow down recovery. The VirtuaCare™ platform uses smart exercise tools to give you instructions and real-time feedback on your form. This study will compare patients using VirtuaCare™ with those receiving standard physical therapy. We want to see if using VirtuaCare™ leads to more completed physical therapy visits over 12 weeks. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, having specific shoulder surgeries (total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, or rotator cuff repair) performed by Dr. Brian Grawe, and are prescribed outpatient physical therapy at UC Health. The study is planning to enroll 60 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study where 60 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one using the BAND Connect's VirtuaCare™ platform and one receiving standard physical therapy.

What's involved

If you are in the VirtuaCare™ group, you will use the device in the clinic and at home, with your progress reviewed during clinic visits. The study measures outcomes over 12 weeks.

Compensation
