About this study

Official title: A New Neurocognitive Interpretation of the Shoulder Position Sense During Reaching

The aim of the study focused on the creation of a rehabilitative measuring device (SRPT-shoulder proprioceptive rehabilitation tool) and the development of the examination methodology for assessing the proprioception of the glenohumeral joint respect to scapula abduction, within the movement of antepulsion on the sagittal plane both in healthy subjects and in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

What participants receive

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

  • shoulder proprioceptive rehabilitation toolOther

    Also called SRPT

    Using of this tool to measure which is the average error in reaching back in both healthy subjects and subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome starting from the assumption that the shoulder, through the articulation scapulothoracic, helps to determine direction and distance during the "reaching" of an object.

Study groups in NCT02646306
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Shoulder Impingement SyndromeExecution of two tests in succession with the use of the shoulder proprioceptive rehabilitation tool (SRPT), each oriented to indicate a specific discriminative and integrative mode in the movement of the scapulothoracic. Will be required to each subject to perform recognition tasks that include both retraction movements of the hand, starting from a start position, and approaching movements of the hand, starting from an end position. First test: ability to integrate visual and proprioceptive informations. Second test: discriminative proprioceptive capacity of the subject, thus excluding the contribution of the view.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at baseline

    It is an instrument that enables patients to express their pain intensity as a numerical value. Patients were asked to mark the point that corresponded to their perceived pain intensity on a 10-cm line, with 0 indicating the absence of pain and 10 reflecting the most severe pain

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of the short form of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (Quick-DASH) at baseline

    The short form (11 item) of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (Quick-DASH) measures physical ability and symptoms of the upper extremity and explores the impact of functional impairment and pain on daily-living tasks, as well as on social and recreational activities, work and sleep. The score ranges from 0 to 100 points, with 0 reflect- ing no disability and 100 corresponding to the most severe disability

    Measured: baseline

  2. Evaluation of the Constant-Murley shoulder outcome score at baseline

    It is based on subjective (sleep, work, and recreational activities) and objective (ROM and strength) components, adjusted for age and sex, according to normative values reported by Yian et al. The score ranges from 0 (worst result) to 100 (best result).

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome, run by University of Roma La Sapienza at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2016. 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 Italy. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at baseline (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Mar 2016.
