Game exercises vs. body awareness for shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of therapy—rehabilitative game exercises and body awareness exercises—for people with a partial tear of the rotator cuff in the shoulder. It aims to find which approach works better for reducing pain and improving movement.
