Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this observational study was to the alterations in spinal alignment in individuals who have undergone RC surgery and revealed the differences compared to healthy individuals.

Description:

Shoulder dysfunctions are thought to be predisposed by poor posture and muscle imbalances. The shoulder functionality could be limited or worsened by a restricted range of motion (ROM) of the spine. Evidence from studies evaluating both people with shoulder pain and asymptomatic participants indicates a relationship between a decreased thoracic kyphosis and an increased shoulder ROM. Therefore, a higher thoracic kyphosis may be linked to a lower ROM in the shoulder. Shoulder dysfunction becomes more common after the age of 40, and the relationship between spinal posture and shoulder dysfunction is crucially needed to be assessed.

The aim of this observational study was to the alterations in spinal alignment and mobility in individuals who have undergone RC surgery and revealed the differences compared to healthy individuals.

This cross-sectional observational study was conducted with patients who underwent arthroscopic RM surgery and healthy volunteers.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Spinal alignment and mobility assessment	The Spinal Mouse (IDIAG M360), novel, a computer-aided electronic measuring tool that noninvasively evaluates spinal range of motion and intersegmental angles, was used to examine spinal posture. The Spinal Mouse device is reliable and valid for the assessment of spine mobility and posture	8 months
Secondary	Scapular dyskinesia	Performed using the observational scapular dyskinesia test	8 months
Secondary	Range of Motion	Performed using with Goniometer	8 months
Secondary	Postural stability	Performed using with functional reach test	8 months
