Robot-assisted arm exercises for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 20 years old.
- A doctor has told you that you have frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis).
- Your shoulder is in the 'stiff' stage, meaning it's very stiff and hard to move.
- Your affected shoulder has lost at least half (50%) of its movement compared to your other shoulder.
- You do not have other shoulder problems like arthritis, fractures, or severe osteoporosis.
- You have not had a steroid injection in the shoulder in the past month.

This trial tests if a special rehabilitation program helps people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain.
This study tests whether a combination of gentle joint movement techniques, pain education, and core-strengthening exercises can help people with frozen shoulder move better and feel less pain. It may be a good fit if you have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder and are looking for a drug-free treatment option.
This trial tests a new shoulder exercise method for frozen shoulder. If you are between 40–65 years old and have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different physical therapy treatments — one focuses on moving the shoulder blade (scapula) and the other on stretching the tight shoulder capsule — to see which is better for reducing pain and improving movement in frozen shoulder. It may help you find a more effective way to recover without surgery.
This study compares two types of gentle shoulder movements (mobilizations) to treat frozen shoulder. The goal is to reduce pain and help you move your arm more easily.
This study compares two exercise programs to see which one works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with frozen shoulder (a condition that makes the shoulder stiff and painful). It may help you find a more effective way to manage your symptoms.
