About this study
Official title: Could a Feedback Device Help Manage Work-related Shoulder Disorders? - Protocol of a Mixed Methods Pilot Study
Work-related shoulder pain is a common problem with significant socio-economic repercussions. The impact of these disorders on workers is considerable, particularly in terms of pain, disability and reduced quality of life. Several occupational factors may explain the onset of these disorders, such as changes in the work environment, physical demands, psychosocial factors specific to the occupational context and the age of workers. The lack of quantitative measurement tools to assess the physical demands of work over an extended period of time is sorely felt. Recently, our team developed a wearable feedback device, similar to a watch worn on the arm, which measures shoulder movements and muscle activity, transforming this real-time data into clinical indicators. These indicators provide immediate feedback to workers, enabling them to better understand the physical demands of their tasks and adapt accordingly. If this device proves effective in reducing physical demands, it could become a valuable tool for guiding workplace assessments and interventions. However, this device has not yet been tested on workers with shoulder pain. For this reason, a two-part pilot study is needed to understand user needs, assess ease of use and the feasibility of implementing the device. The first component will consist of a pilot clinical trial involving 42 workers suffering from shoulder pain, divided into two groups: one group will use the feedback device for 2 weeks, while the other group will continue to work without intervention. The second phase will analyze the experience of participants who have used the device.
Read the detailed description
The objectives of this pilot study are (a) to evaluate the feasibility of implementing the SWL in the workplace and conducting a large-scale randomized clinical trial (RCT) by assessing recruitment success, intervention adherence, acceptability of the technology, the research team's capacity to refine the SWL, and (b) to explore the SWL capacity to reduce disability, pain, work limitations, and physical work demands while increasing pain self-efficacy among workers with WRSDs.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Shoulder watch load (SWL) feedbackDevice
During week 2 and 3 after randomization, the experimental group will undergo the intervention using the SWL, designed to monitor workers' physical work demands. During this time, the SWL will provide real-time feedback based on parameters set via Ergowatchapp. A workplace visit by a physiotherapist will be conducted to establish and adjust the feedback thresholds in week 2, after the education intervention. If necessary, a second remote meeting will take place in week 3 to explain how participants can modify the thresholds themselves. The initial feedback thresholds will be set based on the physical work demands measured during week 1 and will be adjusted after one week of feedback use. These thresholds will be collaboratively determined by a physiotherapist and the workers. Only the experimental group will receive feedback from the SWL during the study period.
EducationOther
Participants will receive an education intervention delivered by a physiotherapist. This intervention will take place preferentially at the participants' workplace at the end of the 2nd week post-randomization. The session will last 30 to 45 minutes, and involve personalized, patient-centered education on their condition. The physiotherapist will use open-ended questions to encourage participants to express their goals and address specific concerns related to their shoulder condition. Given the expected diversity in physical constraints (manual vs. non-manual workers) and individual challenges, the session will be tailored to each worker needs. At the end of the session, workers will receive a booklet summarizing key points, including: understanding shoulder anatomy, function and pain, managing shoulder pain, enhancing movement variability, adjusting work environment, and considering factors such as sleep, stress, coping mechanisms, and psychological factors on pain.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Shoulder watch load (SWL) feedback and Education in people with Rotator Cuff-related Shoulder Pain and Shoulder Osteoarthritis, run by Laval University at 1 site in Canada.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Jean-Sébastien Roy Jean-Sébastien Roy, PT, PhD (418-529-9141 ext. 46005, jean-sebastien.roy@fmed.ulaval.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
