Study summary

Limitation of range of motion in the shoulder joints is common in stroke patients. The causes are stiffness, CRPS, and frozen shoulder. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between frozen shoulder and shoulder LOM in patients with cerebral infarction using ultrasonography.

Read the detailed description

Ultrasound examination was performed on 50 patients with limited range of motion of the shoulder joint among inpatients or outpatients in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of our hospital, who had a stroke of fewer than 2 years, and the findings suitable for adhesive capsulitis, namely the thickness of the joint capsule in the axillary concave Identify those with thickened findings. Their shoulder power rating, passive range of motion, stiffness evaluation (Modified Ashworth Scale, MAS), and the presence or absence of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) were evaluated, and the relationship with ultrasound findings was investigated.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Range of motion of shoulder joint

    A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint.Flexion, Extension,Adduction,Abduction, Internal Rotation,External rotation

    Time frame: day 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. MAS(Modified Ashworth Scale) of elbow Flexor

    The Modified Ashworth Scale is a well known and commonly used scale in clinical trials with spasticity. It was considered to be the best clinical tool for measuring resistance to movement. It was used to categorize the severity of spasticity by judging resistance to passive movement. It is a 5-point scale that ranges from 0 (=no increase in tone) to 4 (=limb rigid in flexion or extension).

    Time frame: day 1

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Nov 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2021, 13 months after the start.

Of 835 non-industry observational studies under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 41 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 92. This study's planned 13 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 897 studies reached it within 40 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 85.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 17, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
