Official Title: Reducing Shoulder Complaints in Employees With High Mechanical Shoulder Exposures - a Cluster-randomised Trial

Brief Summary:

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of Shoulder-Café (intervention) compared to Shoulder-Guidance (control intervention) with respect to shoulder exposures and shoulder complaints.

Hypothesis: The Shoulder-Café, which unifies education, diagnostic clarification, supervised and home-based shoulder exercises, and advice from a health and safety consultant on workplace interventions, will reduce shoulder exposures and shoulder complaints more effectively than an individual-oriented control intervention with home-based shoulder exercises and written general advice on workplace interventions.
