Rotator Muscle clinical trials

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.

Development of the Muscle Architecture Based Isokinetic Strength Assessment Position for Shoulder Rotator Muscles

Start date: November 15, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Today, the most commonly used position is the seated position with 45° of shoulder abduction (Abd) in the scapular plane, known as the most functional isokinetic assessment of shoulder-rotator strength (1). However, considering the architectural feature of the rotator muscles, a position where the maximum sarcomere length is obtained, in which the maximum muscle strength is produced, has not been investigated. Ward et al. showed that the shoulder position, in which the sarcomere length of the muscles was between 2.0 - 2.6 µm, was 25⁰ Abd and 20⁰ external rotation (ER) as a result of their study on the rotator cuff muscles architecture (2). The test position selected in isokinetic measurements is the main factor for outcome measurements and the repeatability of the measurements directly depends on the selected position (3). This study was planned to investigate the effects of the position where the shoulder is at 25⁰ Abd and 20⁰ ER to develop the most suitable isokinetic strength evaluation position based on muscle architecture for shoulder rotator muscles.Using IsoMed 2000 device (D. & R. Ferstl GmbH, Hemau, Germany) we conducted the isokinetic test of concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC) shoulder internal (IR) and external (ER) strength at the angular velocity of 60˚/s in both Method I (scapular position) and Method II (25⁰ Abd and 20⁰ ER). There were seven days between the testing sessions, and both tests were conducted at the same time of day. The same examiner with experience in performing isokinetic testing with IsoMed 2000 tested all subjects in both testing sessions
