Summary

This study tests four different virtual reality (VR) exercises in 30 adults who have had rotator cuff-related shoulder pain for at least 6 months. Participants will do weekly VR sessions for four weeks and complete questionnaires about their arm function, pain, and fear of movement. The goal is to see which VR approach works best and if it's practical to use in a clinic.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (screen by phone and then confirmed by the physiotherapist at the initial evaluation: pain over the deltoid and/or upper arm region, pain associated with arm movement \[painful arc of movement\], and familiar pain reproduced with loading or resisted testing during external rotation of the arm) for at least 6 months * Minimum score of 15/100 on the shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (1.5 times the minimally clinically important difference) Exclusion Criteria: * Unavailable for the 4 weeks intervention * Cannot understand or read French * Have a diagnosis of rheumatoid, inflammatory or neurodegenerative diseases * Have received a corticosteroid injection or any other type of injection (e.g., platelet-rich plasma, prolotherapy, hyaluronic acid) in the past three months for their current condition * Have bilateral shoulder pain * Have pain in another upper limb joint * Have signs of upper (e.g., bilateral paresthesia, hyperreflexia, or spasticity) or lower (e.g., decreased sensation or strength in dermatomes and myotomes, hypotonia, or hyporeflexia) motor neuron lesions * History of shoulder surgery, dislocation, or fracture * Presence of severe osteoarthritis, symptomatic acromioclavicular joint pathology, or adhesive capsulitis (defined as restriction of passive glenohumeral movement of at least 30% for two or more directions) * Full thickness rotator cuff tear, identified by imaging or clinical tests (lag signs and gross weakness)
