What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating how robotic training compares to conventional rehabilitation for patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, also known as frozen shoulder. This study explores how new technologies like robotics and virtual reality might improve functional recovery and brain reorganization during rehabilitation. The trial aims to better understand the benefits of these approaches for restoring shoulder function and reducing pain. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group receives robotic training that includes continuous passive mobilization and therapy using the Armeo Spring device, while the other group undergoes standard rehabilitation sessions with a physiotherapist. Both treatments focus on improving shoulder movement and autonomy. The study does not use any masking or blinding methods. During the study, participants will have their shoulder function measured using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) at multiple time points up to 12 months. Pain levels and active and passive range of motion will also be assessed regularly. This allows researchers to monitor progress and compare outcomes between the two rehabilitation methods. The total duration of participation may last about a year, with evaluations at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months.
