 The prevalence of self-reported shoulder pain in the UK has been estimated at 16%. This has been linked with significant sleep disturbance. It is possible that this relationship is bidirectional, with both symptoms capable of causing the other.

This study investigates the feasibility of a wearable sleep system (WSS) in accurately detecting sleeping posture and physical activity.
