A New Shoulder Proprioceptive Rehabilitative Tool (SRPT) for the Evaluation of the Role of the Shoulder During Reaching

University of Roma La Sapienza44 enrolled

Overview

The aim of the study focused on the creation of a rehabilitative measuring device (SRPT-shoulder proprioceptive rehabilitation tool) and the development of the examination methodology for assessing the proprioception of the glenohumeral joint respect to scapula abduction, within the movement of antepulsion on the sagittal plane both in healthy subjects and in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

Conditions

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Interventions

shoulder proprioceptive rehabilitation toolOTHER

Using of this tool to measure which is the average error in reaching back in both healthy subjects and subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome starting from the assumption that the shoulder, through the articulation scapulothoracic, helps to determine direction and distance during the "reaching" of an object.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Evaluation of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at baseline

It is an instrument that enables patients to express their pain intensity as a numerical value. Patients were asked to mark the point that corresponded to their perceived pain intensity on a 10-cm line, with 0 indicating the absence of pain and 10 reflecting the most severe pain

Time frame: baseline

Secondary Outcomes

Evaluation of the short form of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (Quick-DASH) at baseline

The short form (11 item) of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (Quick-DASH) measures physical ability and symptoms of the upper extremity and explores the impact of functional impairment and pain on daily-living tasks, as well as on social and recreational activities, work and sleep. The score ranges from 0 to 100 points, with 0 reflect- ing no disability and 100 corresponding to the most severe disability

Time frame: baseline

Evaluation of the Constant-Murley shoulder outcome score at baseline

It is based on subjective (sleep, work, and recreational activities) and objective (ROM and strength) components, adjusted for age and sex, according to normative values reported by Yian et al. The score ranges from 0 (worst result) to 100 (best result).

Time frame: baseline
