Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: VirtuaCare GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
For the subjects in Group 1, the physical therapist will set up the patients within the VirtuaCare™ system and build their treatment plan.
Each time a patient in the VirtuaCare returns for a clinic visit, the physical therapist will review their VirtuaCare™ patient report displaying information such as exercises completed along with their measured form, pace, range of motion, and exertion. From the review, they will help the patient understand any corrections they need to make in the following week when at home. The therapist can add or adjust any exercises they deem necessary for the next phase of the patient's rehabilitation.
Group II: Usual and Customary GroupActive Control1 Intervention
This study involves a medical record review for the control group. Data will be abstracted from closed medical records after completion of shoulder physical therapy.
