Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess cartilage strain and contact areas following glenohumeral instability compared to healthy individuals.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to assess cartilage strain and contact areas following glenohumeral instability compared to healthy individuals. This is a prospective longitudinal cohort study to investigate cartilage strain and labral injury utilizing advance MRI techniques. Patients with shoulder instability will be studied at baseline (after injury and prior to surgical treatment) with glenohumeral cartilage strain MRI protocol, pre and post exercise. Patient reported outcomes including Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) Score, and PROMIS physical function and pain scores, will also be evaluated. Data from this study will be compared to a previous study involving healthy controls that underwent the same exercises and imaging.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMRI

Images of the injured shoulder will then be taken with magnetic resonance (MR) scanner. MRIs of each participant's shoulder will be acquired before and after completion of an exercise protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
SANE Scores at six months post-surgery6 months post-surgeryThe Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) is a patient rating and is The SANE score represents one's perception of shoulder function as a percentage of normal, 0% being no function and 100% being normal function.
Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical function at six months post-surgery6 months post-surgeryA PROMIS score of 50 is the average for the United States general population with a standard deviation of 10. A higher PROMIS T-score represents more of the concept being measured. For positively-worded concepts like Physical Function, Mobility, and Upper Extremity function, a T-score of 60 is one SD better than average. By comparison, a Physical Function T-score of 40 is one SD worse than average.

Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) at baselineBaselineThe Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) is an instability-specific patient reported outcome (PRO) measure for individuals with shoulder instability that was designed for use as a primary outcome measure in clinical trials evaluating treatments for patients with shoulder instability. The WOSI questionnaire consists of 21 items, each scored on a 100mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Each item falls into one of the domains of physical function, sports/recreation/work, lifestyle and emotional well-being. Each question is scored between 0-100 points and the summation of all the questions results in a final WOSI score. The final score ranges from 0 (no decrease in shoulder-related quality of life) to 2100 (extreme distress in shoulder-related quality of life).
