Trial summary

The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between two different "fatigue tests" (Xco Endurance Test and Shoulder Endurance Test) and strength/endurance of shoulder rotators muscles, measured with an isokinetic device. The tests will be organized during two different sessions, in a randomized order. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Relation Between Different Tests Aimed to Assess Shoulder Endurance in Upper Limb Athletes

The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between two different "fatigue tests" (Xco Endurance Test and Shoulder Endurance Test) and strength/endurance of shoulder rotators muscles, measured with an isokinetic device.

The tests will be organized during two different sessions, in a randomized order. One session will be dedicated to isokinetic evaluation. The other one will include the performance of the two functional tests.

Realization of the 3 tests

What participants receive

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

  • Realization of the 3 testsOther

    The participants will have to perform the isokinetic evaluation during one session and the two functional tests during another session. Those sessions will be separated by 14 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Shoulder rotators strength

    Shoulder rotators strength (IR, ER) will be measured with isokinetic dynamometer

    Measured: through study completion, 6 months

  2. Shoulder rotators work

    Shoulder rotators work (IR, ER) will be measured with isokinetic dynamometer

    Measured: through study completion, 6 months

  3. Shoulder Endurance Test

    Time until exhaustion (in seconds) will be measured

    Measured: through study completion, 6 months

  4. Xco Endurance Test

    Time until exhaustion (in seconds) will be measured

    Measured: through study completion, 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Strength and Endurance, run by University of Liege at 1 site in Belgium.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2023. 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 Belgium. 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?

Shoulder rotators strength (time frame: through study completion, 6 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 May 2023.
