Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome measures of the first objective are the shoulder torque and shoulder power production during functional tasks, and the associated joint angular velocity, during performance of the ADL tasks. The ratio between eccentric and concentric torque will be analysed. Also the maximal isokinetic muscle strength, recorded by the KinCom dynamometer will be used. Pain during the measurements will be checked. Between the different KinCom measurements, the participants will be asked to fill out the Visual Analogue Scale, to check if he/she experiences pain, and if he does how much pain he experiences. For the second objective, the shoulder joint angles (active range of flexion/extension, abduction/adduction in frontal plane, internal/external rotation) during functional tasks and the isometric shoulder muscle strength (in terms torque) will be investigated. The SF-36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) measures the physical health (physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain and general health) and the mental health (Vitality, Social functioning, role-emotional, mental health). For each domain a sub-score will be calculated, and the total score indicates the overall health. For measuring the experienced pain and problems in the shoulder joint during daily activities, the shoulder disability questionnaire will be filled out (27). This is a questionnaire that measures the sub-domains pain and restrictions in activities. The items are scored on a VAS scale, and the total score will be between 0 and 100. Pain during the measurements will be checked. Between the different KinCom measurements, the participants will be asked to fill out the Visual Analogue Scale, to check if he/she experiences pain, and if he does how much pain he experiences.
