| Public title | The role of pressure feedback in muscle patterning shoulder instability |
| Scientific title |
|
| Acronym | N/A |
| Disease/condition/study domain | Musculoskeletal Diseases: Shoulder disorders |
| Study hypothesis | Does the application of tubigrip on the symptomatic arm affect grip strength, dexterity and shoulder movement in patients with muscle patterning instability? |
| Design/methodology | Randomised controlled trial |
| Research ethics review | No ethics information provided as of 29 September 2006 |
| Countries of trial | United Kingdom |
| Participants - inclusion criteria | 70 patients with symptoms of shoulder instability and/or pain and have a suspicion or diagnosis of muscle patterning abnormality. |
| Participants - exclusion criteria | Not provided at time of registration |
| Patient information material |
|
| Anticipated start date | 18/08/2005 |
| Anticipated end date | 10/01/2006 |
| Status of trial | Completed |
| Target number of participants | 70 |
| Interventions | Participants will have their grip strength assessed, and dexterity measured via the 9-hole peg test. They will then be randomised to receive treatment (tubigrip) or nothing, and asked to rest for 30 minutes. Following a 30-min rest, they will be asked to repeat these tests in front of a second assessor, who is blinded to whether they have received the treatment or not. Both groups will be asked to keep a symptom diary for 14 days. |
| Primary outcome measure(s) | Active range of shoulder movement, grip strength, dexterity, subjective improvement rating by patient. |
| Secondary outcome measure(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
