Trial summary

The shoulder is a dynamic and mobile joint between the arm and the trunk. The movement of the joint in three dimensions performs complex movements in almost every activity of daily life. These movements performed during activities of daily living can cause musculoskeletal problems and shoulder pathologies. Read more about this study

About this study

The shoulder is a dynamic and mobile joint between the arm and the trunk. The movement of the joint in three dimensions performs complex movements in almost every activity of daily life.

These movements performed during activities of daily living can cause musculoskeletal problems and shoulder pathologies. For this reason, the shoulder joint should be carefully evaluated, especially in athletes.

Read the detailed description

The shoulder consists of four functional joints. Glenohumeral joint (GH), acromioclavicular joint (AC), sternoclavicular joint (SC), and scapulothoracic joint (ST). The most mobile of these four joints is the glenohumeral joint, located between the scapula and the glenoid. The GH is a synovial joint that has three-dimensional motion, covers the intra-articular capsule, and wraps the biceps long head tendon to the biceps sulcus. The glenohumeral capsule, glenohumeral ligament, and coracohumeral ligament contain a capsuloligamentous complex structure. This complex structure and the rotator cuff tendons form a static and dynamic restrictive structure around the glenohumeral joint. The rotator cuff space forms a triangular tissue between the edge of the anterior supraspinatus tendon and the superior subscapularis, and the apex is located on the lateral ridge of the biceps sulcus at the edge of the humeral ligament.

After providing mobility, movement and balance will return to stability. Increasing muscle strength for joint stabilization is a physical training goal for the shoulder in athletes.

Bone mechanics, intra-articular pressure, glenohumeral labrum and capuloligamentous structures are static components.

Dynamic components are provided by muscle activity coordinated around the joint and modulated by the neuromuscular system.

The basis of static and dynamic interactions is mainly proprioceptive inputs that occur with mechanoreceptors in the muscles, joint capsule ligaments, tendons and skin, which are integrated into each other.

Joint stabilization is provided by the coactivation force of dynamic shoulder stabilizers.

The balance of such forces must be proportional. For this reason, exercises to provide joint stabilization should aim to provide equal force distribution around the joint.

Among the criteria for evaluating the athletes; proprioception and range of motion.

Body Awareness Questionnaire aims to evaluate body awareness. Posture will be evaluated with New York posture analysis.

As a result of the literature review carried out; As far as is known, there is no adequate, up-to-date and evidence-based study in the literature.

What participants receive

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

  • mobility exercisesOther

    Before starting the exercise program, a video and exercise program including the importance of shoulder mobilization and stabilization and the knowledge of how to contract the right muscle groups will be shared in order to raise awareness of the athletes. Following the evaluations, in addition to the classical training programs, the athletes will perform the Wall Angels and Anterior Shoulder Stretch, Shoulder Circle Rotation, Prone Shoulder Controlled Articular Rotations and Shoulder Side Stretch exercises, Prone I, T, W, Y's 3 days a week for 8 weeks, accompanied by the same physiotherapist.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body Awareness Questionnairei

    Body awareness basically refers to an individual's awareness of body parts. Body awareness measurement provides the definition of body awareness and evaluation of the effectiveness of the exercise programs to be applied. Body Awareness Questionnaire is a questionnaire consisting of four subgroups (changes in body process, sleep-wake cycle, prediction at the onset of the disease, prediction of body responses) and a total of 18 statements, which are conducted to determine the normal or abnormal sensitivity level of body components. Individuals are asked to score between 1 and 7 for each statement. Grading is done on the total score. A high score indicates that the individual's body sensitivity is good.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. The range of motion

    The range of motion of the shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotator muscles will be measured with a goniometer. Measurements will be made by the dominant side of the athlete in evaluations other than bilateral functional tests. Joint range of motion assessment was measured with a goniometer

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. New York Posture Scale

    Posture is the state of being in the most suitable position of every part of the body in relation to the adjacent segment and the whole body.

    Posture analysis is done while standing upright. The postures of the subjects participating in the study were evaluated with the New York Posture Scale. In this evaluation system, posture that can occur in 13 different parts of the body is evaluated. For scoring, a score of five was given if the person's posture was correct, three if it was moderately impaired, and one if it was severely impaired. The total score obtained with the test evaluation is a maximum of 65 and a minimum of 13. The standard evaluation criteria developed for this test were defined as "very good" if the total score is >=45, "good" if 40-44, "moderate" if 30-39, "poor" if 20-29, and "poor" if <=19. detected.

    Measured: 8 weeks
