Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Humeral Adductors in Subjects With Rotator Cuff Tear: an Observational Study

NCT05879003 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2024-04-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The teres major and pectoralis major are adductors and may play a compensatory role for deficit in rotator cuff function. The investigators aim to (1) determine the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the two adductors for the outcomes in symptomatic rotator cuff tear subjects, and (2) evaluate the immediate effect of NMES on the co-contraction of the adductors.Thirty symptomatic rotator cuff tear subjects will have NMES on the two adductors. The investigators will measure the acromiohumeral distance by ultrasonography and scapular kinematics during arm elevation with a three-dimensional motion tracking system. Co-contractions will be calculated by surface electromyography.
