Research summary
This research aims to assess the usability along with the patient and clinician acceptability of the MuJo™ Shoulder system for rehabilitation of patients with shoulder dysfunction. Shoulder rehabilitation is usually provided by physiotherapists who provide patients with written instructions to follow a specific regime. Instructions are usually provided with drawn images of specific exercises which could allow for the incorrect use of exercises. Conducting such exercises incorrectly can sometimes exacerbate the injury and further delay the patient’s recovery. Therefore, this study wishes to understand whether an internal and external shoulder device based on a moving axis cam technology, such as the MuJo™, allows for targeted training of the complex shoulder joint over its full range of motion in a safe, measurable environment and if this would improve compliance with exercise compared to the routine care. Patients and clinicians will also be assessed to the acceptance of this product within clinical practice. Patients and staff will be recruited over a 3 month period and the follow up period for each patient will be 6 months to complete the rehabilitation programme using the equipment and allow for data collection. Both qualitative and quantitative data will be collected from patients and staff.
