Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In Group 1, participants will be given access to the BAND CVCP and necessary materials during their first physical therapy appointment. The physical therapist will guide them through exercises using the device, recording their actions and providing real-time feedback. The BAND CVCP app on their provided Android phone will offer instructions for each exercise, eliminating the need to memorize the routine.
During clinic visits, Group 1 participants' progress will be reviewed using the BAND CVCP participant report. The report will display information such as completed exercises, form, pace, range of motion, and exertion, which is measured by sensors in the BAND CVCP handles. The therapist will help participants understand any corrections needed for their at-home exercises and make adjustments to their rehabilitation plan accordingly.
Both Group 1 and Group 2 participants will complete patient report outcomes at different intervals, including pre-operative scores, weekly visual analog scale assessments, and monthly assessments such as the Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) or Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH). Group 1 participants will complete these forms using the BAND CVCP's phone application, while Group 2 participants will use paper copies at the clinic.
Additional assessments will be conducted at the 3-month, 6-month, and discharge from care visits, which include the ASES, SST, and EQ-5D-5L forms. Group 1 participants will complete these assessments on the BAND CVCP's phone application, while Group 2 participants will use paper copies at the clinic.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the BAND CVCP device compared to standard physical therapy regimens and track participant rehabilitation outcomes throughout the process.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group 1
Group 1 will be using the BAND CVCP both in the clinic and at home to supplement the treatment protocols used in the clinic today.
BAND Connect's VirtuaCare™ platform
Band Connect provides a medical-grade and condition-specific platform that augments the clinician workflow by extending the in-clinic MSK rehabilitation experience into the patient's home - leading to higher quality personalized treatment and increased adherence with enhanced economics and reimbursement for the clinic.
Group 2
Group 2 will receive standard-of-care physical therapy without the use of the BAND CVCP.
Standard of Care Physical Therapy
Standard of care physical therapy without the use of the BAND CVCP
