NCT ID NCT06783023
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the '6-minute pegboard and ring test' is a reliable and valid way to measure arm function in people with pacemakers. 27 adults with pacemakers took part. The goal was to find an objective test for arm problems that can occur after pacemaker implantation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients between the ages of 18-65 who have a pacemaker, * At least 3 months have passed since pacemaker implantation and there are no complications in the last pacemaker control, * Being in NYHA class I-II-III, * Patients with no coordination problems, * Patients who volunteered to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with a history of shoulder pathologies prior to pacemaker implantation that may restrict movement of the upper limb (conditions such as severe pain around the shoulder, edema or shoulder dislocation that may restrict upper limb movement), * Patients with a history of shoulder surgery (limitation in range of motion), * Patients who have had a cerebrovascular event resulting in mastectomy or arm involvement on the affected side, * Patients with decompensated heart failure, * Patients with a history of ICD inappropriate shock, * Those with acute myocardial infarction, * Patients with malignancy on active treatment, collagen tissue disease receiving systemic steroids, * Chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis with unstable volume load.
