Summary

Shoulder instability is associated with neuromuscular control alterations. Helical Axes (HAs) dispersion is influenced by joint morphology and neuromuscular control and its analysis can be used to quantify the Center of Rotation (CoR) displacement.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of an exercise-based training on shoulder HAs dispersion during upper limb movements in patients with shoulder instability and to assess the association between shoulder arthrokinematics and instability-related symptoms.

25 patients with shoulder instability and 25 healthy subjects (aged between 18 and 50) will be enrolled. The HAs dispersion will be assessed during the performance of two upper limb task, shoulder flexion and shoulder rotation. Kinematics will be recorded by an optoelectronic system and HAs dispersion was computed using Mean Distance (MD) and Mean Angle (MA).

Pain and functional impairments will be assesed through the DASH scale, NRS scale, simple shoulder test (SST). Quality of life will be assessed with SF-12 scale.

Outcomes measures will be evaluated at the enrolment (T0), after one week (T1), after 12 weeks (T2) and after one month (T3). Between T1 and T2 patients perform a 12 weeks home-based exercise protocol and 12 outpatient physical therapy sessions.
