Efficacy of a Criteria Based Clinical Pathway for Rehabilitation of Shoulder Injuries (NCT06536114)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the current standard of care for rehabilitation of non-operative shoulder injuries to a novel, criteria-based approach (CRISP). Additionally, this study will identify factors which contribute to return to duty readiness. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are there differences in patient reported outcomes between participants who undergo the criteria-based rehabilitation program versus the standard of care for shoulder injuries? * Are there differences in clinical measures (strength, etc.) between participants who undergo the criteria-based rehabilitation program versus the standard of care for shoulder injuries? * Are there clinical or rehabilitation factors, or participant characteristics, that contribute to return to duty readiness? Participants will be randomized to either complete their rehabilitation per the standard of care with a physical therapist in a Military Treatment Facility or complete the CRISP program with a research physical therapist. Participants will: * Attend physical therapy for a non-operative shoulder injury * Attend initial and final clinical assessments at the clinic * Complete patient reported outcomes at 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month timepoints
