Static optimization is commonly employed in musculoskeletal modeling to estimate muscle
and joint loading; however, the ability of this approach to predict antagonist muscle activity at …

In this dynamic protocol, ultrasound examination of the shoulder using different maneuvers
is described for several/relevant shoulder problems. Scanning videos are coupled with real …

Background Rotator cuff muscles stabilise the glenohumeral joint and contribute to the initial
abduction phase with other shoulder muscles. This study aimed to determine if the load …

Background: Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has been performed for irreparable
rotator cuff tear and pseudoparalytic shoulder (PPS); however, poor clinical outcomes have …

Background Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has recently gained popularity as a
surgical solution for patients with massive rotator cuff tears or shoulder pseudoparalysis …

The aims of this study were to investigate the differences in peak muscle activity and
recruitment patterns during high-and low-velocity, concentric and eccentric, internal and …

The subscapularis is the largest and most powerful muscle of the rotator cuff. Occupying the
vast majority of the subscapular fossa, it is the only internal rotator of the rotator cuff. The …

Objectives To examine whether patients, diagnosed with the hypermobility type of the Ehlers-
Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), with multidirectional …

Background The Constant score (CS) is often used clinically to assess shoulder function and
includes a muscle strength assessment only for abduction. The aim of this study was to …

The badminton overhead forehand smash (OFS) is a high-speed overhead task in which
various muscle-tendon units generate the forces of motion. It is impossible to examine all …
