Virtual reality rehab for ongoing shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with long-lasting shoulder pain. You would do virtual reality rehab for about 4 weeks, and the goal is to see if it improves how you use your arm and feel day-to-day.
