Summary

This randomised prospective controlled trial will investigate patients with impingement syndrome who undergo arthroscopic subacromial decompression. The intervention group will receive physiotherapy aided by automated sensor-based technology which will help them perform exergames and track their rehabilitation progress. The control group will be treated by standard physiotherapy protocols. The two groups will be compared using patient reported outcome measures and assessment of shoulder range of movement before and after the shoulder surgery.

Data will be collected on patient experience, engagement with the rehabilitation process and the usability of the sensor-based technology through the use exergames. This will guide development of methods to quantify patient activation and engagement.

Hypothesis:

1. There will be a significant clinical difference in post-surgical improvement measured by patient reported outcomes when physiotherapy is aided by automated sensor-based technology to perform Exergames and track progress, compared to standard physiotherapy protocols.
2. There will be a significant difference in post-surgical improvement in range of shoulder movement and patient improvement, measured by patient reported out-comes when physiotherapy is aided by automated sensor-based technology to perform exergames and track progress, compared to standard physiotherapy protocols.

Conditions

  • Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
  • Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

Exergames- Laptop and MIcrosoft Kinect

Following surgery each patient will have a set of games for them to play using their affecting shoulder. These games have been designed by physiotherapists and shoulder surgeons to improve the functional range of movement in their shoulder
