Biceps strength following Latarjet procedure for shoulder stabilisation

Biceps strength in adult males following the Latarjet procedure

Sponsor

Michael Perret

Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

May 1, 2015

Study Type

Observational

Conditions

Rehabilitation Post Shoulder Surgery

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the Latarjet surgical procedure causes any detectable change in the strength of the biceps muscle post-operatively. If you agree to participate in the study, an appointment will be arranged for you to attend for a preoperative biceps strength test (about 15mins duration) at the University of Western Australia. This will involve taking measurements from a resistance machine similar to gym equipment which records your strength. We will also give you a short questionnaire on your shoulder function for you to complete which will take about 10-15 minutes. Your surgery and rehabilitation will not be affected. After 12 months have passed we will contact you by telephone to arrange a time for you to come in and repeat the strength test and questionnaire to see whether your biceps strength and shoulder function have changed.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at whether the Latarjet shoulder stabilisation surgery causes any change in biceps muscle strength. During this procedure, a small piece of bone is moved to the front of the shoulder to prevent dislocation, and this may affect the way the biceps muscle works. Participants will have their biceps strength tested before surgery and again 12 months later. You may be eligible if: - You are an adult male - You are scheduled for a Latarjet procedure for shoulder instability - You can understand and follow the study instructions in English You may NOT be eligible if: - You are female - You are unable to understand the study requirements - You do not speak English Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
