ABSTRACT
A proprioceptive deficit is an important determinant of disability in various shoulder disorders, such as instability and osteoarthrosis. In 15 patients with impingement syndrome stage II (Neer 1983), who were treated by arthroscopic subacromial decompression, we measured movement sense by determining threshold levels for the perception of motion of the shoulder. The patients were placed in a specially designed chair allowing continuous passive motion of the shoulder joint, while avoiding cutaneous, auditory and visual stimuli. To assess movement detection thresholds, passive abduction movements of the shoulder were performed at a starting angle of 60 degrees, an amplitude of 10 degrees and an angular velocity of 1.3 degrees/s. Before surgery, all patients had higher threshold levels for the perception of motion in their affected shoulders then in the other side. After decompression, proprioception had improved on the decompressed side, but was unchanged on the other side.
