Reducing Shoulder Complaints in Employees With High Occupational Shoulder Exposures: a Cluster-randomised Controlled Study (The Shoulder-Café Study)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Shoulder-Café and Shoulder-Guidance for Shoulder Pain. Completed, enrolled 110 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of Shoulder-Café (intervention) compared to Shoulder-Guidance (control intervention) with respect to shoulder exposures and shoulder complaints. Hypothesis: The Shoulder-Café, which unifies education, diagnostic clarification, supervised and home-based shoulder exercises, and advice from a health and safety consultant on workplace interventions, will reduce shoulder exposures and shoulder complaints more effectively than an individual-oriented control intervention with home-based shoulder exercises and written general advice on workplace interventions.
