Summary

This study tests whether an AI-based digital rehabilitation system can help people with shoulder impingement syndrome. 93 adults will either do traditional in-clinic therapy plus home exercises, or use the 'ShuKangShi' AI system at home for daily training. The goal is to see if the AI approach improves shoulder function and reduces pain as well as standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: AI-powered digital rehabilitation system (ShuKangShi)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a convenient, effective home-based rehab option for shoulder impingement, reducing the need for frequent clinic visits.
What could go wrong: This is a small, non-randomized trial with only 93 participants. The AI system may not be as effective as in-person therapy, and results may not apply to everyone.
