Description
Zifu He and colleagues run a randomised trial of app-guided shoulder rehab in this 2026 study. Long-term rotator cuff injury causes pain and weak shoulders, and while guided injections ease pain fast, home exercise often fails through poor sticking power and sloppy form.
Sixty patients received an ultrasound-guided injection, then split into two groups for three months. One did standard exercises; the other trained with a digital system that corrects form and adapts the plan. Both improved, yet at three months the digital group had clearly better shoulder scores, less pain, and wider movement in every direction. The gains passed the bar for changes patients can feel.
