Study population: Function-related factors in patients with scapular dyskinesis. Fifty-one participants (40 males; 11 females; mean age= 22.5±2.4 years; mean height=171.4 ± 8.0 cm; mean weight= 64.9 ± 10.5 kg) were recruited.
Who may be able to join
- Subjects were from 18 to 50 years old and had unilateral shoulder pain around the shoulder complex, including the glenohumeral, scapulothoracic, sternoclavicular, and acromioclavicular regions, while performing shoulder movement.
Who cannot join
- Subjects were excluded if they had a history of shoulder dislocation, fracture, or shoulder surgery within the past 1 year, or a history of direct contact injury to the neck or upper extremities within the past 1 month. Subjects who had neurological disorders or demonstrated pain (VAS>3) during the overall testing procedures were also excluded.
About this study
Official title: Prediction of Functional Disability in Subjects With Scapular Dyskinesis: Shoulder Tightness, Forward Shoulder Posture, Joint Range of Motion, Scapular Kinematics and Associated Muscular Activity
Background: Patterns of scapular dyskinesis have unique scapular kinematics and associated muscular activation. The characteristics of scapular dyskinesis may be associated with functional disability. The investigators investigated whether the level of shoulder function and primary dysfunction items were different in each unique pattern of scapular dyskinesis. The factors associated with shoulder dysfunction in different patterns of scapular dyskinesis were identified.
Methods: Participants with unilateral shoulder pain were classified as having a single dyskinesis pattern (inferior angle prominence, pattern I; medial border prominence, pattern II) or a mixed dyskinesis pattern (patterns I+II). Clinical measurements with the Flexilevel Scale of Shoulder Function (FLEX-SF score), shoulder range of motion, anterior/posterior shoulder tightness, and pectoralis minor index were recorded. These clinical measurements, 3-D scapular kinematics (electromagnetic-based motion analysis), and associated muscular activation (electromyography on the upper, middle, and lower parts of the trapezius and serratus anterior muscles) during arm elevation were analyzed for associations with functional disability.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Shoulder Function Questionnaire
Shoulder function of participants was assessed with the Flexilevel Scale of Shoulder Function (FLEX-SF score)
Measured: one year
Range of Motion on shoulder, range in degrees
Shoulder range of motion of participants was assessed by a physiotherapist using goniometer to measure
Measured: one year
Pectoralis Minor Index (PMI)
The length between the inferomedial aspect of the coracoid process and the caudal edge of the fourth rib at the sternum was measured by a physiotherapist using a meter, and then the parameter was divided by participants' height to calculate for PMI
Measured: one year

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

The characteristics of scapular dyskinesis may be associated with functional disability. The investigators investigated whether the level of shoulder function and primary dysfunction items were different in each unique pattern of scapular dyskinesis. The factors associated with shoulder dysfunction in different patterns of scapular dyskinesis were identified.

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 Function Questionnaire (time frame: one year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Oct 2015.
