ErgoBot: Automated Therapy Robots
The Growing Challenge of Frozen Shoulder in Seniors
In Europe, more than 150 million people are aged 65+, and this number continues to rise each year. Among this group:
- Around 1 in 250 seniors (0.4%) develop frozen shoulder annually.
- Nearly 1 in 40 (2.4%) will experience this painful condition at some point in their senior years.
Frozen shoulder rehabilitation is critical because the condition causes stiffness, severe pain, and reduced mobility. Without timely therapy, recovery can take months or even years — greatly reducing independence and quality of life for seniors.
Why Frozen Shoulder Strains Healthcare Systems
Access to occupational therapy innovation and physiotherapy is often delayed due to:
- Shortages of qualified therapists
- Long waiting times in rehabilitation centers
- Physical workload on nurses and caregivers
When therapy is delayed, seniors face prolonged immobility, while caregivers endure repetitive, injury-prone manual lifting and stretching. This creates a double burden: limited patient recovery and increased caregiver strain.
