Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Preliminary evaluations have been completed and resulted in patients and therapist indicating positive outcomes through increased patient engagement, asynchronous communications (i.e. messaging) between therapists and patients, and objective assessment and monitoring of exercises performed by the patients. The investigator's hypothesis is that patients using the Wellclub device and application in addition to in-clinic physical therapy will be more compliant with their home exercise programs and have the same or better functional outcomes than patients with similar conditions who use in-clinic care only.
