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.

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 robotic exoskeleton that moves your arm for you or helps you move it, to see if it improves shoulder stiffness and range of motion. It may be a new treatment option for people with frozen shoulder.
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 study tests whether a wearable back-support device (exoskeleton) helps warehouse workers pick and pack orders more safely and comfortably. Researchers will compare workers using the device to those doing their usual work, tracking pain, injury, and productivity.
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.
