Brief summary

The principle of the study is to compare the data obtained using a shoulder movement analysis software with those obtained during a traditional clinical examination, that is, using a goniometer and the modified Mallet classification

Detailed description

The children are recorded performing 3 sets of shoulder movements (abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, external rotation 1, external rotation 2, internal rotation 2), first on the left and then on the right, at maximum active range of motion, chosen active range of motion, and maximum passive range of motion. The recordings are made by an RGB-D camera connected to a software (ShoulderLoc from B-com) equipped with artificial intelligence that, after image processing, determines the joint range angle of the shoulder for the given movement. This value is compared to the visual estimation of the examiner and its measurement using a goniometer. The hand-mouth, hand-neck, and internal rotation 1 movements are also performed and compared with the data from the modified Mallet classification.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparison of a video-assisted clinical examination method with commonly used clinical practices1 dayPerform 2 sets of 7 to 10 shoulder movements, both active and passive, measure mobility angles using a goniometer and the Mallet classification, as well as the ShoulderLoc software and its artificial intelligence program. Compare the averages obtained for each movement using both methods and compare them using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Exam duration based on age1 dayValidate the methodology and protocol for acquiring video movements in children
Technical difficulties.1 dayValidate the methodology and protocol for acquiring video movements in children
Measurement of optimal acquisition distances for video quality,1 dayValidate the methodology and protocol for acquiring video movements in children
Compare measurements obtained in active and passive motion for the same movement, through video measurement and manual (goniometer) measurement, to simple visual estimation measurements.1 dayComparison of the average angles obtained in active and passive motion using different methods, compared to visual assessment.
Study the satisfaction of the contribution of video tools in daily clinical practice1 dayData collection to assess feasibility in daily clinical practice (subgroup studies concerning equipment usage parameters to propose a protocol adapted to children's age).
Obtain objective, quantified data on pure and combined shoulder movements1 dayDescription of results obtained by video recording a series of successive movements and analyzing them with artificial intelligence that allows for angle calculations.
