First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares traditional in-person rehab with a new intelligent wearable system for frozen shoulder patients. 42 adults aged 40-60 will use either standard therapy, the smart system, or a combination. The goal is to see if the wearable approach improves shoulder movement and reduces pain more effectively.
