About this trial

This study will be performed to determine if Band Connect's VirtuaCare™ platform increases patient compliance and provides an effective alternative to current physical therapy treatment while reducing the frequency of visits compared with standard orthopedic physical therapy treatment performed in the outpatient clinic.

Participants are being asked to take part in this research study if 18 years and older and have been prescribed physical therapy rehabilitation for an acute or chronic shoulder condition and as part of the participant's physical therapy will receive a shoulder exercise home program.
