Remote shoulder exercises tested for rotator cuff recovery
NCT ID NCT06156423
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether motor control exercises done via video calls can improve shoulder function and quality of life in 34 people who had rotator cuff surgery. Participants did either motor control or standard exercises three days a week for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if the remote approach helps with pain, movement, strength, and daily activities.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- motor control exercise
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote motor control exercises are a practical way to improve shoulder recovery and quality of life after rotator cuff surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises require video calls, which may not suit all patients.
