What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the relationship between the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) and the Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test in healthy young adults aged 18-25. The research focuses on both active and sedentary individuals to assess the feasibility of these tests in a less active population. By comparing performance on these tests, the study seeks to provide insights into shoulder stability and endurance, which are often evaluated in athletes but less so in sedentary individuals.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy young adults aged 18-25 who are not moderately active.

Not a fit: Patients who have had any upper extremity injury in the last 6 months or are moderately active may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of shoulder stability and endurance in young adults, potentially leading to better assessment and training protocols.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of these tests is common in athletes, their application in sedentary individuals is less explored, making this study a novel approach.
