An observational study in Rotator Cuff Tears, Athletes and Return to Sport, sponsored by Campus Bio-Medico University. Status unknown at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-04-06.
Sponsored by Campus Bio-Medico University · Observational
The main goal of this project is to study and define a rehabilitative flow-chart for athletes' rehabilitation and return to sport made by a set of objective shoulder evaluation indicators that are easy to use in clinical context. Enrolled patients will undergo supervised rehabilitation treatment for rotator cuff repair according to a standardized protocol (5 days/week) and will undergo four evaluation at different times. Healthy subjects will undergo evaluations with the same timing as patients.
Clinical, kinematic and shoulder muscle strength assessments to collect data useful to define objective criteria for progression between rehabilitation phases will be performed according to the following times:
Enrolled patients will undergo supervised rehabilitation treatment for rotator cuff repair according to a standardized protocol (5 days/week) and will undergo the evaluations. Healthy subjects will undergo evaluations with the same timing as patients.
734 studies on the registry are indexed under Rotator Cuff Injuries; 161 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 42 is below the median of 67 across 162 observational studies indexed under Rotator Cuff Injuries.

Competitive and non-competitive athletes undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery at the Unit of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital will be considered eligible.
Exclusion Criteria:
Enrolled patients will undergo supervised rehabilitation treatment for rotator cuff repair according to a standardized protocol (5 days/week) and will undergo clinical, kinematic and shoulder muscle strength assessments to collect data useful to define objective criteria for progression between rehabilitation phases. Assessment will be performed at four different times. The clinical evaluation of the shoulder is carried out through the Constant-Murley Score (CMS). Pain will be assessed through the visual analogical scale (VAS). Kinematic assessment (shoulder ROM, scapula-humeral rhythm, movement smoothness, movement speed) will be assessed through magneto-inertial measurements units (M-IMU). The maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of shoulder flexor, abductor and rotator cuff muscles of the affected limb will be measured by the Chronojump Boscosystem® Force Sensor Kit
Procedure: Assessment
Healthy subjects will undergo evaluations with the same timing as patients in the Experimental group.
Procedure: Assessment
Evaluation of clinical and kinematic parameters
To study and define a rehabilitative flow-chart for athletes' rehabilitation and return to sport
To create tool to support the multidisciplinary team involved in the decision-making process of progress between the various stages of rehabilitation and in the transition from the rehabilitation phase to the re-athletization phase after surgical repair of the rotator cuff of the shoulder in athletes
