About this study

Exercises used in shoulder rehabilitation compose of open kinetic chain and closed kinetic chain exercises.The force formed on the trunk and legs is transferred to the shoulder in open and closed kinetic chain exercises before shoulder muscles activation. It was shown that trunk and leg muscle activity changes when they are performed in different ground. But it is unknown how this alteration effect shoulder muscle activity. This will be provide a significance approach due to incremented of shoulder muscle activity is important for shoulder rehabilitation setting. To achieve this aim that is rising of muscle activity, various approach is applied including alteration of ground which individual performed exercise on it. And, it was shown that closed cinetic chain exercise which performed on different ground change shoulder muscle activity. However, it is unknown whether alteration of ground effect shoulder muscle activity or not in open cinetic chain exercise. That's why the aim of this study is to investigate alteration of scapulothoracic shoulder muscle activity in open cinetic chain shoulder exercise which enforced different ground.

What participants receive

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

  • Open cinetic chain shoulder exercise on unstabil groundOther

    Open cinetic chain shoulder exercise will be performed on BOSU which provides an unstabil ground. This exercises will be include PNF (flexion-adduction-external rotation pattern), PNF (flexion-abduction-external rotation pattern), scapular plan abduction, external rotation while keeping shoulder in 45 degree abduction. The weight which used during exercise planned according to individuals body weight: 0-59 kg: 3 kg; 60-69 kg: 4 kg; 70-85 kg: 5Kg. Exercises will be carried out in 3 phases consisting of concantric, isometric and eccentric phases. Each phase will be lasted 3 seconds. The time will be checked by using a metronome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Muscle recruitment firing

    EMG analysis will be performed scapulothoracic muscle including upper trapezius, middle trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscle. EMG sensors will be placed for each muscle according to SENIAM guidlines. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction will be performed three times for each muscle according to Kendal. Data will be collected during exercise performance which performed on stabil ground as well as unstabil ground using a BOSU (BOSU, Fitness, LLC, San Diego, CA).

    Measured: Change from baseline muscle recruitment firing to in 5 minutes after completion of exercise

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Muscle thickness evaluation

    Muscle thickness will be analysed including upper trapezius, middle trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscle during resting and each exercise performance. For muscle thickness evaluation SHMADZU SDU-1200PRO Diagnostic Ultrasound System (Shimadzu, Japan) device will be used.

    Measured: Change from baseline muscle recruitment firing to in 5 minutes after completion of exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Open cinetic chain shoulder exercise on unstabil ground in people with Muscle Weakness and Exercise, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 1 Nov 2022. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 Kübra Canlı (+90 0312 305 15 76, canli09@hacettepe.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Muscle recruitment firing (time frame: Change from baseline muscle recruitment firing to in 5 minutes after completion of exercise). 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 1 Nov 2022.
