The complexity of the human shoulder girdle enables the large mobility of the upper
extremity, but also introduces instability of the glenohumeral (GH) joint. Shoulder …

Motion capture systems using skin markers are widely used to evaluate scapular kinematics.
However, soft-tissue artifact (STA) is a major limitation, and there is insufficient knowledge of …

Several numerical approaches have been developed to address the soft tissue artefact,
such as the segmental optimization and multibody kinematics optimizations using either …

Background Rotator cuff arthropathy with loss of active arm elevation can be successfully
treated with nonanatomic reverse total shoulder arthroplasty to restore active elevation …

Context A single clinical assessment device that can be used to objectively measure
scapular motion in each anatomical plane is not currently available. The development of a …

The goal of this study was to develop and validate a non-invasive approach to estimate
scapular kinematics in individual patients. We hypothesized that individualized …

Several kinematic chains of the upper limbs have been designed in musculoskeletal models
to investigate various upper extremity activities, including manual wheelchair propulsion …

A skin marker-based motion capture model providing measures of scapular rotations was
recently developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the concurrent validity and the …

Background Reversed total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a standard surgical procedure
for the treatment of rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA), aimed at restoring active arm …

Accurate measurement of joint kinematics is required to understand the musculoskeletal
effects of a therapeutic intervention such as upper extremity (UE) ergometry. Traditional …
