About this study

Official title: Alterations in Spinal Alignment and Mobility in Individuals With Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Which Factors Differ From Healthy Individuals?

The aim of this observational study was to the alterations in spinal alignment in individuals who have undergone RC surgery and revealed the differences compared to healthy individuals.

Read the detailed description

Shoulder dysfunctions are thought to be predisposed by poor posture and muscle imbalances. The shoulder functionality could be limited or worsened by a restricted range of motion (ROM) of the spine. Evidence from studies evaluating both people with shoulder pain and asymptomatic participants indicates a relationship between a decreased thoracic kyphosis and an increased shoulder ROM. Therefore, a higher thoracic kyphosis may be linked to a lower ROM in the shoulder. Shoulder dysfunction becomes more common after the age of 40, and the relationship between spinal posture and shoulder dysfunction is crucially needed to be assessed.

The aim of this observational study was to the alterations in spinal alignment and mobility in individuals who have undergone RC surgery and revealed the differences compared to healthy individuals.

This cross-sectional observational study was conducted with patients who underwent arthroscopic RM surgery and healthy volunteers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Spinal alignment and mobility assessment

    The Spinal Mouse (IDIAG M360), novel, a computer-aided electronic measuring tool that noninvasively evaluates spinal range of motion and intersegmental angles, was used to examine spinal posture. The Spinal Mouse device is reliable and valid for the assessment of spine mobility and posture

    Measured: 8 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Scapular dyskinesia

    Performed using the observational scapular dyskinesia test

    Measured: 8 months

  2. Range of Motion

    Performed using with Goniometer

    Measured: 8 months

  3. Postural stability

    Performed using with functional reach test

    Measured: 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rotator Cuff Tears and Posture, run by Abant Izzet Baysal 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 6 inclusion and 1 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 10 Feb 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 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?

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?

Spinal alignment and mobility assessment (time frame: 8 months). 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 10 Feb 2023.
