Mobile Application Utilization for Measurement of Scapular Position
Completed
Conditions studied: Shoulder Pain
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of a mobile clinical application to reliably and accurately track scapular motion in people with asymptomatic and symptomatic shoulders. The ability to accurately and reliably measure shoulder position clinically is an important first step in choosing the best treatment techniques to treat shoulder movement dysfunction. Therefore, the primary objectives of the study are: 1. To determine the inter- and intra-rater reliability of shoulder joint position measurements in symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects, by using a mobile application, with and without use of a handle for a smartphone 2. To determine the validity of the shoulder joint position measurements measurements as described above.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older, up to 65. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Asymptomatic subjects: subjects without complaints or history of shoulder pain or obvious movement abnormalities.
- Symptomatic subjects: subjects with shoulder pain who have active range of motion beyond 120° of elevation.
You may not qualify if…
- Symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects: history of trauma including fractures, dislocations, previous shoulder surgeries within the past 6 weeks. Humeral elevation less than 120 degrees, shoulder symptomology that is judged by the examiner to be of cervical origin.
- Asymptomatic subjects: Complaints of shoulder pain, positive results on joint tests commonly associated with shoulder impingement, presence of shoulder joint movement abnormalities as determined by a physical therapist, including thoracic scoliosis.
