The Effect of McConnell Shoulder Taping on Shoulder Muscle EMG and Shoulder Torque Productions in Subjects With Anterior Shoulder Instability
<p>Introduction: Anterior shoulder instability (ASI), a common clinical problem, causes significant functional impairments. Despite little evidence to support its use, rehabilitation directed at the unstable glenohumeral joint often includes McConnell shoulder taping. This taping technique consists …

Alterations in Shoulder Motion Following Copeland® Shoulder Resurfacing Arthroplasty
Introduction: Copeland® shoulder resurfacing arthroplasty (CSRA) proponents suggest that it replicates the normal joint anatomy by providing restoration of the humeral head structure in terms of offset, version, angulation and shape. Most studies note the clinical improvement after CSRA. The aim of …

Variability of peak shoulder force during wheelchair propulsion as a function of shoulder pain
… wheelchair users report a high prevalence of shoulder pain. Growing evidence shows that variability in forces applied to biological tissue is related to musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study was to examine the variability of forces acting on the shoulder during wheelchair propulsion …

Shoulder strength in amateur swimmers
… the difference in internal and external shoulder rotation strength and endurance in swimmers with painful shoulders compared with those without pain. In previous literature elite swimming athletes have been investigated, however little research has been conducted on the effects of …

Football Shoulder Pad Design and Its Effect on Head Kinematics in Shoulder-to-Helmet Impacts
Shoulder-to-helmet (STH) impacts have been shown to cause approximately twenty percent of concussions in football, yet little research has investigated shoulder pad design and STH impacts. While shoulder pads are designed to protect the player wearing them, they have the potential to better protect …

Biomechanical model of the shoulder joint
A biomechanical model of the glenohumeral joint has been developed to investigate muscle and joint loading during real life three-dimensional activities. Based on a rigid body mechanics approach, the model incorporates algorithms to correct for curved muscle paths and bone geometry, providing …

The cricketing shoulder: biomechanics and analysis of potential injury risk factors to the shoulder in elite cricketers
… meaningful contribution to understanding shoulder injury aetiology in cricketers as overhead throwing athletes. The studies included in this thesis investigate the musculoskeletal profile of a cricketer’s shoulder, as well as the intrinsic factors associated with shoulder injury risk. …

Ergebnisse der konservativen Behandlung bei Frozen shoulder
Die Frozen shoulder ist eine Erkrankung, die nach dem heutigen Kenntnisstand zu dem Formenkreis der Fibromatosen gehört. Das histopathologische Korrelat ist eine vermehrte Fibrosierung, eine Hyalinisierung und eine fibrinoide Degeneration der Gelenkkapsel und der umgebenden Ligamente. Es resultiert …

Neural injury following traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation
… patients with brachial plexus lesions caused by shoulder dislocation. As far as can be established, this is the largest series reviewed in the literature to date. Contrary to most other reports, the neurological lesions involved the supraclavicular as well as the infraclavicular brachial plexus. …

Stability of the Shoulder Complex during Manual Exertions
Shoulder musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major cause of morbidity and pain in the modern working population. Epidemiological literature suggests that forceful arm exertions pose an increased risk for shoulder MSD development. Although several previous studies have reported a significant …

Patient-Specific Musculoskeletal Modeling of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
<p>Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is often considered a surgery of last resort for patients with debilitating pathologies of the glenohumeral joint such as osteoarthritis, humeral head fracture, and advancing rotator cuff tears. TSA replaces the articulation between the humeral head and the …

Articulated Statistical Shape Modelling of the Shoulder Joint
The shoulder joint is the most mobile and unstable joint in the human body. This makes it vulnerable to soft tissue pathologies and dislocation. Insight into the kinematics of the joint may enable improved diagnosis and treatment of different shoulder pathologies. Shoulder joint kinematics can be …

EMG-EMG Coherence Analysis of Elbow and Shoulder Muscles
Motor coordination can be described by the activation of a few intermuscular coordination patterns, or muscle synergies. Muscle synergy can be defined as a relatively fixed pattern of activation across a set of muscles. The neural mechanisms underlying muscle synergies remain to be fairly unknown. …

Interprofessional Roles Shoulder Dystocia: Maximizing Safety in Community Hospitals
… simulation of obstetrical emergencies, including shoulder dystocia for hospital teams. National patient safety mandates for simulation training of critical events have not been available to small, rural hospitals because of lack of talent and equipment, creating a gap in resources. Other than …
