1. Introduction

The shoulder joint, renowned for its exceptional range of movement, plays a crucial role in enabling essential daily activities, such as reaching, lifting, or throwing [1]. Coordinated movement between the humerus, scapula, clavicle, thoracic wall, and thoracic spine is vital for optimal shoulder function, and injuries to these structures can significantly impair shoulder motion [2]. With advancing age, the incidence of common shoulder pathologies, including tendinopathy and osteoarthritis, rises progressively, affecting a substantial portion of individuals aged 65 and above [3][4][5]. Notably, rotator cuff tears pose a significant concern, afflicting approximately one-fifth of the global adult population and up to half of those aged 66 years and above [6]. The prevalence of upper limb pain among adults is striking, with 36% of the population reporting such pain and a substantial portion of these cases contributing to significant morbidity, healthcare resource consumption, and work productivity loss. Hence, the proper evaluation and treatment of shoulder pathologies assume paramount importance [7].
Recognized as an alternative or complementary approach to traditional care-unit-based therapy, home-based rehabilitation empowers patients by fostering autonomy and facilitating their recovery to regain their ability to perform daily tasks [8]. This approach offers numerous advantages for patients and healthcare organizations, including resource optimization, reduced travel time, flexible appointment scheduling, improved therapist availability, and prompt feedback delivery [9]. Consequently, home-based rehabilitation enables the transition of patients who would otherwise require in-patient care to an outpatient setting, where they actively engage in prescribed rehabilitation exercises at home, promoting adherence to the treatment regimen [10][11][12].
Maintaining high-quality healthcare services in a home-based rehabilitation setting necessitates the use of medical devices capable of monitoring patients, complemented with periodic supervisions from healthcare professionals [13]. Well-designed medical devices should ensure reliable clinical treatment, prioritize patient safety and well-being, and safeguard the caregivers and healthcare providers involved [14]. In recent years, advancements in remote monitoring technologies, particularly in e-health, have facilitated the migration of various devices from hospital settings to home-based paradigms. These devices, often managed by non-health professionals, are now designed to be more compact and smaller, ergonomic, and user friendly, catering to the needs of diverse users [15].

2. Technology Solutions for Home-Based Shoulder Rehabilitation

In the realm of medical advancements, numerous devices are currently under development, with many designed for use in clinical or hospital settings due to their inherent complexity. However, certain devices and technologies offer relative simplicity in their operation, making them well suited for home use and enabling patients to regain autonomy and independence in their rehabilitation journey [16]. Figure 1 presents an overview of these key technologies, categorized into the domains of physical and virtual applications, each playing a significant role in home-based rehabilitation. By exploring these technologies, researchers can better understand their potential impact and effectiveness in supporting patients’ rehabilitation progress.

Additionally, exoskeletons, which are wearable robotic units designed to augment and enhance human physical capabilities, have gained prominence, particularly among individuals with reduced mobility [27]. The growing demand for upper limb exoskeletons has led to the development of new and advanced models in recent times [28][29][30][31]. By harnessing the potential of rehabilitation robots and exoskeletons, patients can benefit from enhanced therapy outcomes and improved quality of life.
In the realm of virtual approaches to home-based rehabilitation, the integration of machine learning has revolutionized the automation of processes by harnessing artificial intelligence and pattern recognition capabilities [32]. Through the analysis of empirical data collected from sensors embedded in modern smartphones and wearables, machine-learning algorithms can gather user and environmental information, enabling real-time adaptation to the prevailing conditions, as if the systems were continuously learning and evolving [32]. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, has particularly contributed to remarkable advancements in image recognition and behavior prediction within the field of rehabilitation [33]. Over the years, deep learning has demonstrated its efficacy in shoulder rehabilitation, exemplified by numerous studies, which will be explored in this article [32][34][35][36]. By leveraging the power of machine learning and its subfield of deep learning, home-based rehabilitation can capitalize on sophisticated algorithms to optimize treatment outcomes and refine personalized interventions.
The increasing adoption of virtual and augmented reality systems in recent years indicates a shift toward a more e-health-focused approach in both medical and social rehabilitation [37]. These systems have the capability to simulate realistic scenes, providing valuable support to individuals with disabilities throughout the rehabilitation process. Notably, the literature showcases various examples where virtual and augmented reality technologies have been successfully employed to enhance rehabilitation outcomes [38][39][40][41][42]. By immersing users in interactive and lifelike environments, these technologies offer new avenues for therapeutic interventions and enable individuals to engage in meaningful and immersive rehabilitation experiences.
A compelling concept, which has emerged in the realm of physical rehabilitation, is the use of serious games. These games combine educational, informational, and rehabilitative aspects with the entertaining and enjoyable elements of video games [43]. The versatility of gamification in rehabilitation is vast, as it can leverage various technologies, such as virtual reality or robots [44][45][46][47]. By integrating game mechanics, challenges, and rewards, serious games provide an engaging and motivating platform for individuals undergoing rehabilitation, encouraging active participation and facilitating progress tracking. The integration of serious games into home-based rehabilitation programs has the potential to transform therapy into a more enjoyable and interactive experience, ultimately improving patient engagement and treatment outcomes.
With the foundational technologies discussed, the subsequent sections will delve deeper into their key features, providing illustrative examples and conducting in-depth analyses.
