Frozen Shoulder Rehabilitation

their rehabilitation. passive range of motion. The main treatment involves proper shoulder exercises and joint mobilization to break up adhesions at the joint capsules and improve joint mobility and functions. However, due to a lack of persistence, not all patients complete rehabilitation. To address this, we created a virtual reality game-based treatment system that encourages patients to participate in regular rehabilitation. Using our system, patients can inquire freely about their rehabilitation progress through real-time sensing and game-based feedback. Six progressive and hierarchical training tasks make each training step adjustable based on the patient’s physical condition. To test our system, we used randomized clinical trial criterion to recruit 40 patients for a sequence of trials over a four-week period. Here, we describe our system and the study, as well as our results, which show that patient shoulder joint mobility and muscle strength significantly improved for those using our system compared to those using the traditional rehabilitation method.
