Upper Extremity Function, Shoulder Position Sense & Disability Level İn

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purposes of this study is to investigate the relationship between upper extremity muscle function and shoulder position sense in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and which best projects the disability status.

Upper extremity dysfunction is considered to be the main cause of the loss performance of activities of daily living and this problem was include all motor and somatosensory components of function. Any failure in each of these components will likely create an impairment in the normal function.

One of the most important components of the somatosensory system is joint position sense, a sub-modality of proprioception. Position sense disorders are seen from the early stages of the disease and upper extremity function problems is experienced depending on position sense disorders in patients with MS.

Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is one of the most commonly outcome measures in evaluating the level of disability in MS population. Because EDSS scale emphasis on ambulation, so it is insensitive to upper extremity function. But the ability to use walking aids (e.g., canes, walkers, wheelchairs, etc.) may be affected by the UE impairment so shoulder position sense.

When literature is examined, there is no study which examines the relationship between upper extremity muscle function and shoulder position sense in patients with Multiple Sclerosis and which best projects the disability status. For all these reasons, we think that shoulder position sense is changed both dominant and non-dominant side during flexion and abduction movements in mild-moderate MS patients and that these deficits are correlated with upper extremity function and disability level.

Clinical Trial Description

This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between upper extremity muscle function and shoulder position sense in patients with MS and which best projects the disability status.

21 PwMS and 20 healthy volunteers with matching ages and genders were included the study. A neurologic examination was performed using the EDSS by a neurologist.

Upper extremity function was evaluated with 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT). Shoulder position sense was evaluated with Dualer IQTM digital inclinometer (J-TECH medical, Salt Lake City, UK, USA). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
