Muscle structure and function in older adults with a rotator cuff tear
Rotator cuff tears are a highly prevalent musculoskeletal injury affecting 20-50% of older adults, and prevalence increases with more advanced age. Symptoms of a rotator cuff tear include muscle atrophy, fatty infiltration, decreased strength, and a loss of functional ability. However, a healthy …

Long term follow up of rotator cuff Magnetic resonance imaging changes in patients who underwent acromioplasty without repair of full thickness supraspinatus tendon tears
… after unrepaired full thickness supraspinatus tears in a population of patients that had acromioplasty done for symptomatic impingement with a rotator cuff tear.

IMPLICATIONS OF AGING AND DEGENERATIVE ROTATOR CUFF TEARS FOR UPPER LIMB MUSCLE MORPHOLOGY, STRENGTH, AND FUNCTION
… that can be exacerbated by a degenerative rotator cuff tear, a common injury predominantly affecting older adults. Many important tasks necessary to maintaining independence require strength and coordination in the upper limb. The objective of this dissertation was to evaluate the …

The Impact of Psychosocial Factors on the Outcome of Surgical Repair for Rotator Cuff Tears – A Prospective Cohort (IMPROVE Study)
Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of pain and reduced function in the shoulder. The impact of psychosocial factors on patient outcomes following rotator cuff repair (RCR) surgery is unclear. The main goal of this thesis was to determine the association of psychosocial factors and outcomes in …

Understanding factors affecting tendon healing: Characterising the role of obesity on tendon healing and homeostasis and augmenting its effects with growth factors
… an increasingly ageing and active population. Tears of rotator cuff tendons are common and result in substantial morbidity and healthcare costs. Recently, obesity has emerged as a key and potentially modifiable risk factor for impaired tendon healing. Aims: This thesis aimed to understand …

Effects of rotator cuff tears on glenohumeral capsule strain
Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) account for more than 4.5 million physician visits annually in the United States and are a primary source of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Approximately 250,000 rotator cuff repair surgeries are performed each year, and the success rate of repair is variable with 20% to …

Effect of rotator cuff muscle fatigue on shoulder muscle activation and posture during driving
Rotator cuff (RC) muscle dysfunction impacts the ability to perform daily functional tasks, such as driving. It has been suggested that RC muscle fatigue can mimic rotator cuff tears (RCT) during sudden steering in terms of kinematics. It has also been found that two RC muscles (infraspinatus and …

Die Wertigkeit der 1H- und 31P- Spektroskopie bei Rotatorenmanschettenrupturen
… die Atrophie und die fettige Infiltration der Rotatorenmanschette als wichtiger Prädiktor für den Outcome nach Rekonstruktionen der Rotatorenmanschette belegt worden, insofern, als dass eine fettige Infiltration eine erhöhte Re-Rupturrate bedingt. Der intramuskuläre Fettgehalt wurde bisher …
