Rehabilitation of the patient with glenohumeral impingement requires a complete
understanding of the structures involved and the underlying mechanism creating the …

Shoulder function is a compromise between mobility and stability. Its large mobility is based
on the structure of the glenohumeral joint and simultaneous motion of all segments of the …

The biomechanical analysis of rehabilitation exercises has led to more scientifically based
rehabilitation programs. Several investigators have sought to quantify the biomechanics and …

Background Restoration of control of dynamic scapular motion by specific activation of the
serratus anterior and lower trapezius muscles is an important part of functional rehabilitation …

The purpose of this manuscript is to review the knowledge of scapular positioning at rest and
scapular movement in different anatomic planes in asymptomatic subjects and patients with …

Traditionally, human movement has been captured primarily by motion capture systems.
These systems are costly, require fixed cameras in a controlled environment, and suffer from …

Purpose To investigate the effectiveness of isolated eccentric versus conventional exercise
therapy in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. Methods Thirty-six patients with rotator cuff …

BACKGROUND: Clavicle hook plates are an effective plate fixation alternative for distal
clavicle fractures and severe acromioclavicular joint dislocations. However, post-operative …

BACKGROUND: Alterations in scapular motion frequently are seen in association with
various shoulder disorders. It is common clinically to compare the pathological shoulder with …

Rotator cuff tears are a common injury that affect a significant percentage of the population
over age 60. Although it is widely believed that the rotator cuff's primary function is to …
