Trial summary

The diaphragm is defined as a thin, smooth muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. The shoulder and diaphragm muscle have a clear relationship through innervation and myofascial tissue connection. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Functional Movement Analysis (FMS) of Diaphragmatic Breathing-Immediate Effect on Shoulder Mobility- Randomized Controlled, Single-Blind Study

The diaphragm is defined as a thin, smooth muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. The shoulder and diaphragm muscle have a clear relationship through innervation and myofascial tissue connection. Fascia is often neglected medically, rehabilitatively, or performance as the underlying cause of problems. Bones, organs, and muscles appear to float in the fascial web, a continuous three-dimensional system of connective tissue. Plastic and viscoelastic properties, which can change tension and shape under the influence of manual techniques and movement retraining, ensure that the structural changes are reversible. Functional Movement Analysis (FMS) is a screening system that aims to predict the risk of injury and functional deficiencies. FMS consists of 7 basic motion component tests. It is scored on a scale of zero to three and creates a composite score whose sum ranges from 0 to 21 points. One of the 7 motion models evaluated is shoulder mobility. According to the results of this study, people who perform activities that require shoulder mobility will be guided as to whether the use of diaphragmatic breathing will be effective for preparation, rehabilitation or performance improvement. The aim of the study was to observe whether shoulder mobility increased in healthy individuals taught diaphragm breathing compared to the control group.

What participants receive

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

  • Shoulder MobilityOther

    t is one of the seven functional movements studied in FMS. This test requires the participant to simultaneously hold one hand behind the back (internal rotation) and the other hand behind the head (external rotation) with the fisted hands, and bring the hands as close to each other as possible in the back area. The distance measurement in cm is taken with a tape measure between 3 fingers of both hands.

  • Diaphragmatic BreathingProcedure or surgery

    The participant will lie on his back in a comfortable position, diaphragmatic breathing will be taught first in the application group and he will be asked to do diaphragmatic breathing for 90 seconds. At the end of this period, the participant will be referred back to the evaluator physiotherapist, and the physiotherapist will evaluate the shoulder mobility again without knowing which group the participant is in.

    In the participant control group, shoulder mobility will be evaluated and the practitioner will be asked to stay in a comfortable position on his back for 90 seconds next to the physiotherapist. At the end of the period, shoulder mobility will be evaluated again by the assessing physiotherapist.

Shoulder MobilityOtherIt is one of the seven functional movements studied in FMS. This test requires the participant to simultaneously hold one hand behind the back (internal rotation) and the other hand behind the head (external rotation) with the fisted hands, and bring the hands as close to each other as possible in the back area. The distance measurement in cm is taken with a tape measure between 3 fingers of both hands. This type of reach test has been described as a tool for measuring glenohumeral joint (GH) mobility through functional shoulder movements.
Receives: Procedure: Diaphragmatic Breathing
Diaphragmatic BreathingExperimentalThe participant lies on his back. He places his hands horizontally on the lowest part of the ribs. While inhaling, he is asked to inflate his stomach towards the bottom of his hands. It is taught that during breathing, the abdomen should swell rather than the rib cage, and the ribs should open outwards. Breath is taken through the nose, blown slowly through the mouth.

What is being measured

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

  1. Shoulder Mobility Measurement

    It is one of the seven functional movements studied in FMS. This test requires the participant to simultaneously hold one hand behind the back (internal rotation) and the other hand behind the head (external rotation) with the fisted hands, and bring the hands as close to each other as possible in the back area. The distance measurement in cm is taken with a tape measure between 3 fingers of both hands.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Shoulder Mobility and Diaphragmatic Breathing in people with Shoulder Pain and Diaphragm Issues, run by Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt 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 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 21 Sep 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?

Shoulder Mobility Measurement (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 21 Sep 2023.
