Shoulder exoskeleton trial for physically demanding jobs
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable shoulder support device to help people with shoulder conditions do physically demanding jobs with less pain and strain. It may be a good fit if you have a shoulder problem and work in a job that requires frequent arm use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a physically demanding job that involves lots of reaching, lifting, or using your arms.
- You have a shoulder condition like a rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, or arthritis, or you've had shoulder surgery.
- You are willing to use a wearable exoskeleton device.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (a computer-made, 3D environment) can help people with shoulder problems recover better. You would use a VR headset for exercises, and the study will see if it improves your shoulder movement or pain.
This study tests a wearable robot arm that helps move your shoulder for you during exercises. The goal is to see if using this robot improves shoulder movement and reduces stiffness better than standard physical therapy alone.
This trial tests a wearable device that guides you through exercises to help recover from frozen shoulder. It is designed for people in the 'frozen' phase of the condition.
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
This trial tests a wearable robot that helps move your arm. It's for people recovering from a stroke or brachial plexus injury who still have some arm muscle strength but need extra support.
This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
