Evaluation of Joint Position Sense in Healthy Individuals

Recruiting

• Conditions: Proprioception

• Registration Number: NCT06276920
• Lead Sponsor: Inonu University

Brief Summary

It was aimed to measure the elbow joint position sense in healthy individuals in the case of a closed kinetic chain and to compare it with the measurement made in the case of an open kinetic chain.

Detailed Description

The study was designed as a non-invasive, cross-sectional study. The population of this research will consist of healthy individuals. Joint position sense will be measured in open kinetic chain and closed kinetic chain via universal goniometer . Each angle position will be repeated 3 times with the elbow in 45, 60, 75 degree flexion angle positions and the average will be calculated. Measurements will be evaluated simultaneously but independently with the 2 different evaluators. Measurements will be repeated after 3 days.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Joint position sense measurement with universal goniometer in close kinetic chain	3 days	In the closed kinetic chain, measurements are made at different starting positions.
Joint position sense measurement with universal goniometer in open kinetic chain	3 days	In the open kinetic chain, joint position sense is measured as the subject's ability to actively reproduce the passively placed position of the forearm relative to the upper arm.
