The Problem:
There are 4.5 million annual doctor visits for rotator cuff injury in the
United States alone, the vast majority of which will be treated with
physical therapy for rotator cuff strengthening. Unfortunately, proper
rotator cuff training is technically demanding for the patient and time
consuming for the staff. This reality presents a financial and ethical
challenge for the physical therapy facility that strives to provide the best
care with minimal staff to remain competitive and profitable.
The Impact:
Traditional rotator cuff training in the PT setting requires close monitoring
by valuable staff resources to ensure patients perform the movements
with proper technique. Failure to do so results in poor patient compliance
and far less than optimal outcomes in the rehabilitation process. In
addition, performing tedious exercises using bands and weights leads to
poor client satisfaction and retention.
The Solution:
The patented NuShoulder® System isolates the rotator cuff muscles that stabilize the shoulder joint while ensuring proper form during each of the five movements. All exercises are performed from a seated platform for quick, easy, targeted rotator cuff training that you can actually feel, without the need for close supervision thereby freeing up valuable staff resources. NuShoulder offers digital feedback on muscular deficiencies and imbalances, tracks progress and gains, and provides summaries in easy-to-read formats for patient reporting and billing.
