What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background: Shoulder instability is commonly observed in adolescents and young females, ranging from asymptomatic multidirectional instability (MDI) to symptomatic conditions. Patients with MDI often experience shoulder pain, muscle tension, and episodes of subluxation. This condition is associated with hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), both characterized by generalized joint laxity and recurrent joint dislocations, significantly affecting daily activities and athletic performance. Current literature lacks clarity on the actual humeral head displacement, shoulder joint kinetics, and muscle activity characteristics during movement in patients with MDI accompanied by HSD or hEDS. Additionally, the effects of electrical stimulation on different shoulder muscles and its impact on humeral head displacement in MDI patients remain to be validat

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * Age: Between 20 and 50 years old. Patients with Multidirectional Shoulder Instability Must Meet the Following Conditions: (A) Generalized Joint Hypermobility: Beighton score ≥ 4/9. (B) Shoulder Laxity Verified in at Least Two Directions During Clinical Examination (must meet A and B, or A and C): Inferior: Presence of a sulcus sign under the acromion or a positive Gagey hyperabduction test. Anterior: Positive anterior load and shift test or active shoulder external rotation \> 85 degrees or passive shoulder external rotation \> 90 degrees. Posterior: Positive posterior load and shift test or positive posterior jerk test. (C) Shoulder Pain for at Least Three Months Before the Start of the Study. (D) Signs of Shoulder Instability in Daily Life Without a Traumatic Cause. (E) Ability to Raise the Arm Above 120 Degrees Without Experiencing Subluxation or Dislocation of the Shoulder. Exclusion Criteria: * Shoulder pain caused by trauma. History of shoulder fractures or dislocations. Cervical radiculopathy. Degenerative joint disease of the shoulder. Previous shoulder surgery. Frozen shoulder. Pain score greater than 5 during experimental movements. Redness, swelling, or open wounds on the skin within the experimental area. Sensory abnormalities. Cognitive impairment.
