Main comparisons for the biomechanical, neuromuscular, clinical and patient-centred outcomes

OutcomeComparisons
Biomechanical
  • Change in anterior–posterior glenohumeral translation from baseline to 6 months (primary outcome), and 12 months.

  • Change in superior–inferior glenohumeral translation from baseline to 6 and 12 months.

  • Change in scapular upward-downward rotations, protraction–retraction and anterior–posterior tilt from baseline to 6 and 12 months.

  • Side to side difference in anterior-posterior glenohumeral translation between the injured shoulder at 6 and 12 months and the non-injured shoulder at baseline.

  • Side to side difference in scapular upward-downward rotations, protraction-retraction and anterior-posterior tilt between the injured shoulder at 6 and 12 months and the non-injured shoulder at baseline.

Neuromuscular
(the analyses are considered exploratory with no hierarchy between the outcomes)
  • Change in reaction time from baseline to 6 and 12 months.

  • Change in sway length from baseline to 6 and 12 months.

  • Change in joint position sense from baseline to 6 and 12 months.

  • Side-to-side difference in neuromuscular outcomes between the injured shoulder at 6 and 12 months and the non-injured shoulder at baseline.

Clinical and patient reported outcomes
(the analyses are considered exploratory with no hierarchy between the outcomes)
  • Correlations with biomechanical and neuromuscular outcomes

  • Change in WOSI index from baseline to 6 and 12 months.

  • Change in EQ-5D questionnaire from baseline to 6 and 12 months.

  • Change in range of motion from baseline to 6 and 12 months.

  • Correlations between bone-loss and WOSI index, EQ-5D questionnaire, redislocation, and range of motion.

  • WOSI, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index.
