Summary

Assessing shoulder sensorimotor control using a force platform is feasible and reliable. This method, particularly with lower limbs supported at the anterior superior iliac spines, offers moderate to high reliability for key center of pressure (CoP) variables.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Neuroscience
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Shoulder stability relies on sensorimotor control.
  • Assessing this system is crucial for understanding shoulder function.
  • Force platform analysis offers integrated assessment of sensorimotor control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the feasibility of assessing shoulder sensorimotor control using a force platform.
  • To evaluate the reliability of this assessment method.
  • To identify reliable center of pressure (CoP) variables for shoulder sensorimotor assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Forty-five healthy subjects participated in two measurement sessions.
  • Center of pressure (CoP) was measured using a force platform (Win-Posturo® Medicapteurs).
  • Subjects adopted an upper-limb weight-bearing position with lower limbs supported at either the anterior superior iliac spines (P1) or upper patellar poles (P2), under various visual and trunk support conditions.

Main Results:

  • Reliability was moderate to high for CoP length, velocity, and standard deviation (SD) in the P1 position (6.0%–26.5% SEM).
  • CoP area showed lower reliability.
  • Reliability in the P2 position was generally low and not clinically acceptable.

Conclusions:

  • Shoulder sensorimotor control assessment via force platform is feasible.
  • Good reliability is achieved when lower limbs are supported at the anterior superior iliac spines.
  • CoP length, CoP velocity, and CoP SD are the most reliable variables for this assessment.
