About

To evaluate the effect on clinical variables of monitoring exercises prescribed for shoulder injury rehabilitation with the eFisioTrack platform in patients of the Rehabilitation Service at University Hospital of Elche.

Full description

Patients who be referred to the rehabilitation service of the University Hospital of Elche (Spain) for physiotherapy treatment (manual therapy, exercise, stretching, and electrotherapy) after suffering orthopedic injury or surgery in the shoulder joint complex will be considered for enrollment in the study.

Patients will performed the prescribed physical therapy treatment, at least three times per week in sessions of 45 minutes in the hospital setting (application of manual therapy and physical modalities as ultrasound, heat/cold, laser, magnetic field therapy) together with completion of the exercise program for functional recovery of the upper extremity (exercises for muscle strength, scapular stability, joint mobility, and proprioception).

Following baseline examination, patients will be randomly assigned to either physiotherapist-supervised exercise (control group) or monitoring by the eFisioTrack system (experimental group) to perform active exercises as part of their shoulder rehabilitation. These will be performed independently by each patient in a hospital room without supervision by the physiotherapist.

The following patient-reported outcome measures will be used to assess participants' shoulder pain and function: the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score and the Constant-Murley (CM) score.

All participants will be assessed at baseline on their first visit to the physical therapy area and at one-month follow-up.

Enrollment: 10 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

10 participants in 2 patient groups

eFisioTrack Group

Experimental group

Description:

Use of the eFisioTrack platform in the experimental group to perform active exercises as part of their shoulder rehabilitation. These will. bee performed independently by each patient in a hospital room, using the efisioTrack system without supervision by the physiotherapist. The subjects will be previously instructed in the use of the system in two 20-minute sessions. The type of exercise and its parameters will be chosen and progressed considering the functional status of the patient and being similar to those executed under the physiotherapist's supervision.

Treatment:

Procedure: eFisioTrack Group

Excercises Group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Patients who performed the exercise program supervised by the physical physiotherapist in a hospital room.

Treatment:

Procedure: Excercises Group
