Validation of an Upper Extremity Physical Performance Test Battery in Patients After Shoulder Dislocation
Conditions: Return to Sport, Shoulder Dislocation or Subluxation
Sex: All
Ages: 16 Years – 55 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 129
Sponsor: University Ghent
Location: AZ Monica, Deurne - Orthopedie Antwerp
Summary
The goal of this exploratory prospective study is to determine if an upper extremity test battery, comprised of physical performance tests, analytical tests and patient-reported outcome measures, can predict successful return to sports and quality of life in athletes (age 16-55) after shoulder dislocation.
The main research questions are:
* Can an Upper Extremity Physical Performance Test Battery predict successful return to sports (= return to pre-injury sports level) in athletes after shoulder stabilization procedure
* Can an Upper Extremity Physical Performance Test Battery predict the quality of life in athletes after shoulder stabilization procedure
Participants will:
* Fill out questionnaires pre-operatively
* Fill out the SIRSI questionnaire throughout the rehabilitation
* Undergo a testing battery in the return to sport phase, including physical performance tests, analytical tests and patient-reported outcome measures
* Fill out questionnaires every 3 months after return to sports, up to 1 year.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Practising sports with moderate to high demand on the shoulder (based on Degree of Shoulder Involvement in Sport (DOSIS) scale), minimal weekly 3 hours
* Shoulder instability event (anterior direction)
* Healthy contralateral shoulder
* Completion of the postoperative rehabilitation protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
* Other upper limb pathologies/ associated injuries: e.g. posterior instability, or rotator cuff tear,...
* Being pregnant
* No intention to return to pre-injury sport
