Summary
"This trial aims to assess a new wearable device that measures shoulder movements and muscle activity to help workers with shoulder pain. The device provides real-time feedback to help workers understand and adjust to the physical demands of
Who is the study for?
This trial is for workers experiencing shoulder pain due to conditions like rotator cuff injury, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis. Participants should be currently employed and suffering from work-related shoulder disorders. There's no mention of specific inclusion or exclusion criteria provided.
What is being tested?
The study tests a wearable feedback device (SWL) that monitors shoulder movement and muscle activity, providing real-time data to help manage physical demands at work. The trial has two groups: one uses the device for two weeks; the other works as usual without intervention.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using a non-invasive feedback device and education, there are likely minimal side effects compared to drug trials. Possible discomfort may arise from wearing the device.
