Assessing factors affecting shoulder stability in young to middle-aged adults
Influence of Anthropometric Data, Shoulder Complex Muscle Strength, and Abdominal-lumbar Endurance in Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test
This study is testing how body measurements, shoulder strength, and core endurance affect shoulder stability in adults aged 18 to 50 to help improve treatment for shoulder pain.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the influence of anthropometric data, shoulder muscle strength, and abdominal-lumbar endurance on the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) scores in individuals aged 18 to 50 years. Building on previous findings, it seeks to establish a more comprehensive predictive equation for CKCUEST scores by incorporating additional variables. Participants will undergo specific tests to measure their upper extremity stability and muscle strength, contributing to a better understanding of factors affecting shoulder pain and rehabilitation outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals aged 18 to 50 years who can provide informed consent and do not have recent injuries or surgeries affecting the upper limb.
Not a fit: Patients with recent fractures, upper limb luxations, or those experiencing pain that prevents testing may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance rehabilitation strategies for individuals suffering from shoulder pain by providing a more accurate assessment of stability.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in using similar approaches to assess upper extremity stability, but this study aims to expand the understanding by including additional variables.
