About this study

Official title: Factors Associated With Full Recovery After Surgical Repair of Shoulder Instability - Cross Sectional Study

Case control study to evaluate different factors (e.g muscle strength, psychological factors) that are associated with full recovery and functional status 6 months after surgical repair of shoulder instability.

Read the detailed description

In this study the investigators will try to find correlations between different factors and functional abilities of patients 6 months post shoulder surgery.

Patients will be examined in a single encounter for muscle strength, fear avoidance beliefs and functional abilities.

Functional abilities will be examined using two validated questionnaires:

  1. The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI)
  2. Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)

Fear avoidance will be evaluated using the Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire (FABQ)

Muscle strength of the rotator cuff muscles will be measured using Biodex Isokinetic system, model 4.

Being tested
Questionnaires, Isokinetic Strength Measurement

What participants receive

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

  • QuestionnairesOther

    Patients will fill self-reported functional shoulder scales (1. Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index - WOSI, and 2. Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire - DASH), as well as a Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire (FABQ).

  • Isokinetic Strength MeasurementDevice

    Isokinetic strength will be measured using a Biodex Isokinetic System 4.0 (Shirley, NY)

Study groups in NCT02978365
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PatientsExperimentalMale patients who undergone shoulder surgery to repair chronic instability (at least 1 shoulder dislocation prior to surgery). Time since surgery will be between 26 and 28 weeks. Patients will go through filling questionnaires and isokinetic strength measurements.
Receives: Other: Questionnaires; Device: Isokinetic Strength Measurement

What is being measured

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

  1. Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI)

    Functional scale

    Measured: 26-28 weeks post surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Fear avoidance belief questionnaire (FABQ)

    Fear avoidance questionnaire

    Measured: 26-28 weeks post surgery

  2. Isokinetic strength

    Ratios between Internal and External rotation strength in both shoulders

    Measured: 26-28 weeks post surgery

  3. Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH)

    Functional scale

    Measured: 26-28 weeks post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Questionnaires and Isokinetic Strength Measurement in people with Chronic Instability of Joint, run by Uri Gottlieb 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 4 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 8 Jun 2018. 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?

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?

Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI) (time frame: 26-28 weeks post surgery). 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 NCT02978365, 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 8 Jun 2018.
