Lead Sponsor

Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All
Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: unilateral shoulder pain that has been present for at least three months, sufficient mobility of the shoulder to perform everyday movements and the ability to give informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Pregnant women, patients with an acute shoulder injury or shoulder surgery within the last three months, with acute inflammatory diseases or infections in the shoulder area or adjacent structures, with a pacemaker or ICD, with known underlying neurological diseases with sensorimotor deficits, people with mental or cognitive impairments and patients who do not agree to participate in the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation between clinically/subjectively recorded movement parameters and inertial sensor-based everyday movement data of the affected shoulder.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Identification of typical movement-pain patterns, as well as assessment of the wearing comfort and suitability of the sensors for everyday use by the participants.
