Shoulder bone angle linked to movement sense and disability in impingement patients
NCT ID NCT06878846
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 101 people with shoulder impingement syndrome to see if the angle of a certain shoulder bone (the critical shoulder angle) is related to how well they sense their shoulder's position and how much disability they feel. Researchers measured the bone angle from MRI scans and tested shoulder position sense with a simple tool. The goal was to better understand the role of bone structure in shoulder function.
