Validation of a Kinematic Functional Shoulder Score Including Only Essential Movements

NCT01431417 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 108

Summary

A lot of shoulder function evaluation scores exist but none has been universally accepted as a gold standard.

Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of computerized movement analysis with embedded sensors for objective evaluation of shoulder functional outcome following surgery.

A very simple testing procedure is possible as just a few repetitions of two simple shoulder movements are sufficient. This could potentially facilitate implementation of shoulder function movement analysis in current clinical practice.

However, at the present stage of development, the method needs to be extensively validated. This means that the research will intend to determine precisely for which current shoulder pathology it can be applied, what the outcome of healthy people is, what the reliability of the score is and how it can monitor patient evolution.
