Strength Training on Uninjured Side During Shoulder Injury Recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether exercising your uninjured arm and shoulder while your injured shoulder heals in a sling can help you recover strength and function faster. Researchers will also use a safe brain-imaging tool to measure how your nervous system responds to this training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two surgery techniques for a severe shoulder separation (acromioclavicular joint injury). Both methods repair the torn ligaments, but one also uses a temporary pin to keep the joint in place while healing. The goal is to see which approach gives better shoulder function and recovery.
This study compares two surgical methods to fix a recent, severe shoulder joint separation (a common injury where the collarbone separates from the shoulder blade). It aims to find which technique provides better recovery, so you may benefit from receiving one of these advanced treatments.
This study compares two types of exercise for your non-surgical arm while your shoulder recovers from surgery in a sling. The goal is to see which helps you regain strength and motion better.
This study tests whether adding brain-training exercises to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after surgery for shoulder instability. It may improve how well the shoulder works and how quickly you return to normal activities.
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
This study looks at how shoulder health changes after a rehabilitation and performance training program for people with paraplegia who use manual wheelchairs. It may help you strengthen your shoulders and prevent injuries as you start your life after rehab.
