Could your core strength affect your shoulder injury recovery?
NCT ID NCT07089628
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This observational study will examine the relationship between core stability and reaction time, hand-eye coordination, pain, and function in 52 people with rotator cuff lesions, comparing them to healthy individuals. Participants will undergo various endurance and strength tests, as well as reaction time measurements using a light-based system. The goal is to understand if core stability plays a role in upper extremity function and motor performance in this population.

Who is studied
"Rotator cuff lesions are among the most common problems within musculoskeletal disorders. The prevalence of these lesions increases with age, and they encompass a wide spectrum of various injuries and pathological conditions. The literature frequently reports that these lesions often result in pain, reduced functional capacity, and a decline in quality of life. Although some of these lesions are traumatic in nature, the majority of rotator cuff issues are degenerative due to age-related changes in tendon structure.
