ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring how core stability—the strength and control of the muscles around your trunk—relates to reaction time, hand-eye coordination, pain, and overall function in people who have rotator cuff lesions. Rotator cuff lesions are common shoulder injuries that often cause pain and make everyday activities harder. The study aims to see if having a strong and stable core might help improve things like how quickly someone reacts and how well they coordinate their movements, which are important for many daily tasks. The researchers will compare people with these shoulder problems to those without any symptoms to better understand these connections.
People who might join this study are adults diagnosed with a rotator cuff lesion by a doctor, who have not had shoulder surgery, and who experience some pain during activity. The pain should be at least moderate, measured on a simple pain scale. The study will not include anyone with other serious shoulder issues, certain health conditions, pregnancy, mental health challenges, or communication difficulties. Participants can expect assessments that look at their core strength, reaction times, coordination, pain levels, and how well they can perform daily activities. This study is still in the planning phase and has not started recruiting yet.
