Trial summary

Shoulder dislocations are common and may result in functionally disabling instability. Disruption of the shoulder capsuloligamentous complex during shoulder dislocation is related to poor proprioceptive and stabilizing capabilities of the joint. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Proprioception of the Glenohumeral Joint Following Open and Arthroscopic Repair for Anterior Shoulder Instability

Shoulder dislocations are common and may result in functionally disabling instability. Disruption of the shoulder capsuloligamentous complex during shoulder dislocation is related to poor proprioceptive and stabilizing capabilities of the joint. It has been demonstrated that surgical restoration of the normal glenohumeral capsular tensioning improves the proprioceptive capability of the shoulder and plays an important roll in restoring shoulder stability.

Several studies compared the proprioceptive capabilities of the shoulder between different surgical procedures, however only few have used the "dynamic unrestricted 3-dimensional arm movement model" that has been shown to be more appropriate for assessment of glenohumeral proprioception. To our knowledge, no previous study has compared proprioception measures of the glenohumeral joint following arthroscopic versus open repair for anterior shoulder instability, using the 3-dimensional unrestricted arm movement model.

Being tested
Three dimensional unrestricted arm movements

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Three dimensional unrestricted arm movementsOther

    The subjects will carry out three dimensional unrestricted arm movements. The subjects' movements will be recorded by optoelectronic infrared cameras and software. Assessment of smoothness parameters of subjects' movements will allow discriminating between subjects with intact or impaired proprioception.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shoulder Proprioception and Open Capsular Shift, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ofir Uri, M.D (972-52-4262285, ofiruri@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment of smoothness parameters of subjects' shoulder movements. (time frame: At least 1 year following surgical repair for anterior shoulder instability). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00889109, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Apr 2009.
