NCT ID: NCT06417970 Completed - Clinical trials for Sports Physical Therapy

Proprioception, Touch and Psychometric Relationship in Volleyball Players

Start date: January 2, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Improvement of proprioception in athletes has been found to be effective in preventing fear of movement. The importance of these parameters has not been sufficiently emphasized in volleyball players. In addition, the relationship between upper extremity proprioception and the sense of touch, which is an important component of the somatosensory system, and common anxiety states in athletes has not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between shoulder joint proprioception and psychometric parameters, kinesiophobia and palmar tactile sensation in volleyball players.

Electromyographic Analysis of Scapular Muscles During Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises

Start date: September 25, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In shoulder rehabilitation, the inclusion of kinetic chain exercises is advocated in order to provide the necessary energy transfer to produce optimal force with minimal energy consumption. Closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises are defined as exercises in which the distal segment is stabilized by encountering significant resistance while the proximal segment moves. In contrast, open kinetic chain (OKC) exercises allow the distal segment to move freely without any resistance. Recently, the importance of closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises has increased in enhancing shoulder joint neuromuscular control by improving dynamic shoulder stability and joint position sense. The most current shoulder rehabilitation protocols include exercises for restoration of scapular muscle imbalances.There exist studies investigating the levels of scapular muscle activation during CKC exercises. Researchers have shown that most CKC exercises especially push-ups and plank variations with the shoulder in the 90° position, generally provide high SA activity and an optimal UT/SA ratio.In the literature, there is limited information on how the level of shoulder elevation affects scapular muscle activity and ratio during closed kinetic chain exercises in the prone position. To effectively prescribe CKC exercises commonly used in rehabilitation and athletic programs, a clear understanding of shoulder elevation changes muscle activity during these exercises is required. Our hypothesis is that glenohumeral joint elevation status will alter scapular muscle activation and activation rates.

The Effects of Pain and Disability Resulting From Shoulder Pathologies On Balance and Mobility

Start date: April 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Among the musculoskeletal pathologies, shoulder pain is the most common symptom after back and neck pain (1, 2). One out of every three adults experiences shoulder pain and limitation in shoulder movements, which affects the functionality of the patients and leads to disability. (2) Impairment of one or more sensory inputs coming from the visual, somatosensory or afferent pathways from the vestibular system (3-4) causes deterioration of balance control and falls (4-5). Since pain affects the somatosensory system, it causes a decrease in balance ability. This study will be conducted to examine the effect of pain and functionality on balance in shoulder pathologies. Our study included pathologies such as impingement, rotator cuff syndrome, frozen shoulder, fracture between November 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023; A total of 40 patients, 18 females and 12 males, between the ages of 41-74 (56.30±9.25) will be included. Sociodemographic information form, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), One-leg standing test, 5 sit and stand test, TINetti balance and walking test will be evaluated for the included patients. SPSS Version 21.0 program was used for statistical analysis. With Pearson Correlation analysis, it will be evaluated whether the data are related or not.

NCT ID: NCT05742581 Completed - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

Critical Shoulder Angle and Acromial Index on 3D Models

Start date: June 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Objective: The relationship between rotator cuff tears and morphological features of the shoulder joint has not been fully explained. The earlier studies are usually done with two-dimensional radiography images, but joint positions and bone formations could not be fully evaluated in two-dimensional images. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between rotator cuff tears and critical shoulder angle (CSA) and acromial index (AI) values in three dimensions. Methods: This study examined computerized tomography of 24 rotator cuff tears (rotator cuff tear group) and 20 Bankart lesions, and no rotator cuff tears (control group). CSA and AI were measured on three-dimensional glenohumeral joint models obtained by three-dimensional reconstructions of computed tomography examinations. The investigators anticipate results of this study will guide clinicians in revealing the etiology of rotator cuff degeneration and determining the surgical method to be used for treatment.

NCT ID: NCT05397652 Completed - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

The Aim of This Study is to Examine the Effect of Intravenously Administered Tranexamic Acid (TXA) on the Visual Clarity, Perioperative Hemorrhage, Duration and Early Postoperative Course of Shoulder Arthroscopy in Beach Chair Position.

Start date: May 24, 2021
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Shoulder arthroscopy provides many benefits with a permanent increase in the possibilities and complexity of the application. A condition to perform it is intraoperative visual clarity dependent on hemorrhage control. The aim of this prospective, double blind, randomized, and controlled study is to examine the effect of intravenously administered tranexamic acid (TXA) on the visual clarity, perioperative hemorrhage, duration and early postoperative course of shoulder arthroscopy in beach chair position, which is not yet available in the literature. In the tested and control group, the investigators measure hemoglobin (Hb) in the waste irrigation fluid and the patient's blood before and after the procedure, visual clarity, duration of the procedure, postoperative shoulder swelling, pain level and analgesic drug consumption. The research uses scientific methods to determine if there is a reasonable basis for introducing TXA into routine clinical use.

NCT ID: NCT05239520 Completed - Shoulder Pain Clinical Trials

Understanding Control and Mechanisms of Shoulder Instability in FSHD

Start date: March 25, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to identify factors for shoulder instability in people with Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD). FSHD is a non-life limiting condition with symptoms presenting in the second decade of life (Evangelista et al., 2016). Between 2500 to 3000 people are diagnosed with FSHD in the UK and it is the third most common dystrophy. The overall prevalence is 1: 20,000 and on average 52 people are newly diagnosed with FSHD each year (Emery, 1991; Padberg et al., 1995; UK, 2020) As the disease progresses, patients lose the ability to adequately control muscles around the shoulder girdle, possibly contributing to the development of shoulder instability i.e. partial or complete dislocation of the shoulder joint (Bergsma, Cup, Geurts, & De Groot, 2015; Bergsma, Cup, Janssen, Geurts, & de Groot, 2017; Mul et al., 2016). Loss of control around the shoulder is also thought to contribute to pain and a reduced capacity to perform tasks above shoulder height. Additionally, the development of fatigue and chronic pain further limit patient's abilities and engagement with rehabilitation. If we better understand the mechanisms associated with instability, we can better target physiotherapy interventions to improve rehabilitation. If we identify specific patterns of activity associated with instability, these could be addressed through personalised and improved exercise prescription and rehabilitation. Additionally, we may identify causes of instability for which physiotherapy or exercise programmes may not be appropriate, therefore ensuring patients are referred to the correct service in a timely manner, improving patient outcomes and allocating resources more appropriately.
