Prospective Evaluation of the Reliability and Re-applicability of Subacromial Distance Measurement With Standard Radiographic Imaging Compared to Ultrasound Imaging

Detailed Summary

Patients with complaints of shoulder pain or limitation of motion, who admitted to outpatient orthopaedic clinic will be analyzed. It was planned to measure the subacromial distance using standardized both shoulder ap, true ap and outlet radiographs, and ultrasound to be performed for shoulder circumference soft tissue and muscle-tendon evaluation. The measurement made by the physical therapy and rehabilitation specialist with ultrasound will be considered to be accurate, and it was planned to evaluate the reliability of the graphy measurements by comparing this measurement with the measurements in the graphs. In addition, it was planned to evaluate the intra-observer and inter-observer compliance by re-measuring the subacromial distance on the radiograph by orthopedic doctors of three different seniority levels with an interval of one month.
