Early Clinical Outcomes:
Reach VR Beta Cohort
Preliminary outcomes from frozen shoulder participants using Reach VR independently at home indicate clinically meaningful improvements in active range of motion (AROM) and clinically important improvements to pain and functional limitation (SPADI) scores.
Range of Motion Improvement
Participants demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in active range of motion (AROM) of the affected shoulder. Greater gains were observed in participants presenting with more severe baseline restriction. This magnitude of change represents substantial restoration of mobility over the observation period.

Pain and Disability
Pain and functional limitation were measured using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). Published literature identifies the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for SPADI as approximately 8–13 points.

To achieve clinical results such as those outlined above, Reach VR incorporates several therapeutic elements commonly used in shoulder rehabilitation, including repeated active range of motion exercises, functional reaching and overhead movement, progressive mobility challenges, and high repetition movement therapy.
Traditional home exercise programs rely heavily on patients being self-motivated, and as a result, many patients gradually reduce activity between visits. Reach VR addresses this challenge by encouraging consistent participation through gamified engagement, providing immediate visual feedback and progress tracking, and allowing clinicians to monitor progress remotely. The result is higher movement volume and consistency between visits, which supports recovery while keeping patients connected to their clinic.
“Reach VR allows patients to stay active between visits and maintain progress that might otherwise have stalled.”
