Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Shoulder Pain
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test; Diagnostic Test: Prone Bridge Test; Diagnostic Test: Measurement of the muscle strength of the shoulder complex

• Registration Number: NCT05291273
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Brest

Brief Summary

A previous study of the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (EPOLTEST) in a population aged 18 to 25 years isolated 3 main factors influencing the CKCUEST score: upper extremity span, weight, and sex of the individual. A predictive equation for the CKCUEST score was thus established and to date has a capacity to determine the real score of approximately 51%.

The results of this first study show that a certain number of variables have not been studied.

The purpose of this study, EPOLTEST 2, is to take into account the variables already studied on a larger population (18-50 years old) and to add an assessment of shoulder muscle strength and abdominolumbar endurance.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Abdominal-lumbar stability	Day 1	The prone bridge test also known as the "plank" or "hover" measures the muscular endurance of the abdominal muscles. Subjects will start in the "down" push up position with their feet together and their hands shoulder width apart. When the test starts the subject will push up to the prone bridge position so they are resting on their hands and toes making sure they maintain a straight line from the shoulders through the hips to the knees. The outcome measure will be the time where the subject stay in this position.
Muscular strength of the shoulder complex	Day 1	Maximum isometric force of the external and internal rotators and abductors/adductors measured by a dynamometer in Newton.
Anthropometric data	Day 1	Measurement of the subject's distance between olecranon and radial styloid of the right upper limb in centimeters
Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) score	Day 1	Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test/ The CKCUEST is a functional test which assess shoulder's stability. Patient is in push-up position, with 91 cm between his hands. His body is straight and his foots are squeeze. Patient has to touch his hand with his other one and returns in the initial position. Then, patient repeats this movement with his other hand, etc, during 15 secondes. The CKCUEST score is the movement's number performed. Three tests are performed. The outcome measure will be the mean of the score of the three tests realisation.
