Treatment and study plan

Smartphone

Other

patients with frozen shoulder in the smartphone group will use the smartphone to conduct the home exercise program. The patients will be asked to follow the description to have mobility assessment at least 1 week and do the individualized exercise themselves.

traditional paper hangouts

Other
