Abstract

The present study assesses the usability of a novel device for at-home rehabilitation of musculoskeletal (MSK) shoulder conditions. Patients who had previously undergone traditional exercise-based shoulder rehabilitation were recruited and completed the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire after trialing the device. Open-ended interviews were conducted to identify issues with the current prototype. Preliminary results indicate excellent usability, with a number of areas for improvement identified by participants.

Clinical Relevance — This study adopted a co-design approach and investigated patient usability and acceptance of a novel robotic device for at-home shoulder rehabilitation, with favorable preliminary results.
