Clinical Trial Summary

It was aimed to measure the elbow joint position sense in healthy individuals in the case of a closed kinetic chain and to compare it with the measurement made in the case of an open kinetic chain.

Description:

The study was designed as a non-invasive, cross-sectional study. The population of this research will consist of healthy individuals. Joint position sense will be measured in open kinetic chain and closed kinetic chain via universal goniometer . Each angle position will be repeated 3 times with the elbow in 45, 60, 75 degree flexion angle positions and the average will be calculated. Measurements will be evaluated simultaneously but independently with the 2 different evaluators. Measurements will be repeated after 3 days.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Joint position sense measurement with universal goniometer in close kinetic chain	In the closed kinetic chain, measurements are made at different starting positions.	3 days
Primary	Joint position sense measurement with universal goniometer in open kinetic chain	In the open kinetic chain, joint position sense is measured as the subject's ability to actively reproduce the passively placed position of the forearm relative to the upper arm.	3 days
