NCT ID NCT07164625
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares physical therapy delivered through video calls to traditional in-person therapy for 50 young elite baseball players with rotator cuff problems. The goal is to see if remote therapy is as effective at improving shoulder function and reducing pain, and whether it helps players stick with their treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to either real-time video sessions or face-to-face visits with hands-on techniques.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that remote physiotherapy is a convenient and effective alternative to in-person sessions for treating shoulder injuries in athletes.
