Pilot Study: VirtuaCare™ for Shoulder Conditions

This study is looking at whether using the VirtuaCare™ platform for your home exercises can help people with acute (sudden) or chronic (long-lasting) shoulder conditions. Researchers want to see if VirtuaCare™ helps you stick to your physical therapy plan and if it can reduce how often you need to visit the clinic, compared to standard physical therapy. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a doctor's prescription for shoulder physical therapy, and will be doing home exercises. The main goal is to see if VirtuaCare™ can reduce the number of clinic visits you need over 4 to 8 weeks. The study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll 20 participants.
