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 …

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 …

Technique and application for quantifying dynamic shoulder joint kinematics and glenohumeral joint contact patterns
The shoulder (glenohumeral) joint has the greatest range of motion of all human joints; as a result, it is particularly vulnerable to dislocation and injury. The ability to accurately measure dynamic in-vivo joint kinematics in 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6-DOF) (translations and rotations) and …

Shoulder Joint Endoprosthetic Replacement after Proximal Humerus Fractures in Elderly Patients // Ендопротезиране на раменна става след фрактури на проксималния хумерус при възрастни пациенти
Целта на дисертационния труд е да се направи оценка на терапевтичната ефективност на ендопротезирането на раменната става при полифрагментни фрактури и фрактури-луксации на проксималния хумерус при възрастни пациенти и да се предложи терапевтичен алгоритъм за минимизиране на периоперативния риск и …

Effects of rotator cuff tears on glenohumeral capsule strain
… 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 65% resulting in a re-tear. RCT is a tear of one or more of the rotator cuff tendons …

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 …

The effect of neck muscle fatigue on shoulder humeral rotation proprioception
… research to quantify this interaction at the shoulder; thus further investigation into the effect of neck fatigue on shoulder joint position sense (JPS) accuracy is necessary. In this thesis, study one determined that high variability in upper limb DOFs led to no effect of neck fatigue on …

Effects of yoga on physical characteristics on NCAA division I baseball athletes
<p>Among baseball athletes, joint range of motion (ROM) is considered an important physical characteristic with respect to injury prevention and performance. Professional and intercollegiate programs employ various methods of flexibility training; however, to date, no literature exists with regard …

Joint Angle Estimation Method for Wearable Human Motion Capture
… The method was validated for the elbow and shoulder joints with data from two garments with resistive, thread-based sensors sewn into the garments at multiple locations. The proposed method was able to estimate the elbow joint position with an average error of 2.2 degrees. The method also …

Technique and application of a non-invasive three dimensional image matching method for the study of total shoulder arthroplasty
Knowledge of in-vivo glenohumeral joint biomechanics after total shoulder arthroplasty are important for the improvement of patient function, implant longevity and surgical technique. No data has been published on the in-vivo glenohumeral joint contact locations in patients after total shoulder …

Kineziterapijos poveikis pacientų gyvenimo kokybei ir skausmui esant rotatorių manžetės pažeidimui: sisteminė literatūros apžvalga /
Relevance and novelty: Shoulder joint disorders are the third most common musculoskeletal condition, affecting around 30% of the general population throughout their lives. Rotator cuff pathology is experienced by 4 to 39% of people. Studies indicate that pain, decreased quality of life, and …

Side-to-Side Comparison of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty and Intact Function in Individuals
<p>Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) is a surgery which replaces the shoulder joint, or the interface between the humerus and the scapula glenoid. To test TSA success, most prior research compares patients with TSA to healthy controls. However, the shoulder anthropometry, motion, and musculature of …

Investigating the ideal deltoid kinematics and tension in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
The shoulder is the one of the most active joints within the human body. Recruited in the majority of daily activities either in active use such as moving/carrying of objects or as a source of stability during locomotion. Therefore painful shoulder or its reduced mobility and function can be very …

Effects of menopause and sex on shoulder complex tissue elasticity and pain-related outcomes
… females experiencing a high prevalence of shoulder pain and dysfunction. This study examined the effects of sex, menopause status, and pain-related disability on passive musculoskeletal tissue elasticity and mechanical pain sensitivity in the shoulder joint complex. Forty-six adults (92 …

The Effects of Alterations to Upper Limb Inertial Properties on Vertical Point-to-Point Movement
… have examined intralimb coordination between the shoulder and elbow joints during target-oriented movements. These studies have observed consistent patterns in coordination despite changes in movement variables such as speed, direction, and inertia. Researchers used intersegmental dynamics to …

Sonoelastography of the Supraspinatus Tendon: Correlation Analysis with T2* Mapping of the Supraspinatus Tendon on 3 Tesla MRI
… patients (age range, 26-68 years) with shoulder pain were examined with sonoelastography of the supraspinatus tendon and 3T shoulder MRI with a T2* mapping sequence. The elasticity was estimated by the strain ratio of the supraspinatus tendon to the deltoid muscle (strain ratio S/D). T2* …

Maximal Versus Non Maximal Muscular Exertions: A Study of Valid Measures Using Isokinetic Dynamometry
… non-maximal voluntary exertions of the knee and shoulder joint musculature during isokinetic dynamometry-based testing. For development of the decision rules, healthy participants performed a series of maximal and non-maximal exertions at different testing velocities through a prescribed range of …
