Scapular Muscle Endurance, Shoulder Pain, and Functionality

Completed

• Conditions: Rotator Cuff Syndrome of Shoulder and Allied Disorders
• Interventions: Device: Scapular muscle endurance test; Other: Pain intensity; Device: Upper Limb Functional Performance

• Registration Number: NCT03651401
• Lead Sponsor: Gazi University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare scapular muscle endurance (SME), shoulder pain, and functionality of patients with rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP) with those in the age-gender matched healthy controls and to evaluate the relationship between SME with shoulder pain, and functional impairments in patients with RCRSP.

Detailed Description

Patients with RCRSP (n:23), and age-gender matched healthy controls (n:23) were included in the study. SME were measured by a one-kilogram dynamometer while the shoulder and elbows are flexed 90°. Self-reported pain intensity (activity, night, after SME and FIT-HaNSA) was assessed visual analog scale (VAS). Functionality was also assessed using the Functional Impairment test-hand, neck, shoulder, and arm (FIT-HaNSA).
