Reaching Motion During Functional Activities

Reaching Motion by the Elderly During Functional Activities. A Comparison Beween a Healthy Control Group and Patients With a Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty

Sponsor

University Hospital, Ghent

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Oct 15, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Healthy Shoulder Arthropathy Associated With Other Conditions

Summary

Taking and moving objects is essential. When this becomes difficult, it affects daily functioning. This study aims to determine movement patterns, at the level of the shoulder, during different functional movements in elderly people aged 60 years and older. Movement patterns of people without shoulder problems and patients with a reverse shoulder prosthesis will be compared. These insights can contribute to improving functional rehabilitation in patients with a reverse shoulder prosthesis (RSA).

Eligibility

Min Age: 60 Years
