In this study data from 54 patients with persisting primary frozen shoulder were collected and evaluated retrospectively. All included patients underwent a specific kind of surgical treatment of the shoulder. Three different surgical techniques were compared to each other. A group of 21 patients received a combination of arthroscopic capsular release and subacromial decompression. 18 patients w...

In this paper data are presented concerning the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of point-to-point arm movements which are inwardly or outwardly directed in three-dimensional space. Elbow and wrist position as well as elbow angle of extension were measured. From these data, other angles were computed trigonometrically and elbow and shoulder torques were calculated. Some of the angles descr...

STUDY DESIGN Case report. BACKGROUND Based on our assumption that subtle deviations in the precision of shoulder movement cause tissue injury, we have developed a set of movement-related diagnoses for shoulder problems. The purposes of this case report are to (1) illustrate the use of a movement system impairment (MSI) diagnosis in a patient with shoulder pain, (2) illustrate how the MSI diag...

In considering the well-defined group of conditions in which there is limitation or alteration in the range of movement of the shoulder joint, pain on attempted movement, and sometimes muscle wasting, with no radiographic evidence of abnormality, certain anatomical features must be recalled. In the adult the capsule is fused with the overlying short rotator muscles ; whereas in infants the caps...

Shoulder pain is common, especially with overhead tasks. A common misconception is that the rotator cuff should be trained with internal and external rotation exercises. The shoulder girdle is complex due to it’s inherent instability. This allows a tremendous range of mobility, but comes with a price. Namely, overuse injuries from repetitive strain especially with lifting, throwing, striking, e...

Purpose: Sub-acromial impingement syndrome [SIS] is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain, which affects shoulder joint proprioception. Closed kinetic chain [CKC] exercises with a Sling are more effective and safer than open kinetic chain [OKC] exercises. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of OKC and Sling exercises [TRX] on shoulder sense position joints in overhead athletes w...

he distal biceps brachii tendon is an uncommon site for tendon injury, representing 3% of all injuries of the biceps brachii tendon in the literature [1, 2]. There have been many suggestions for optimally imaging the elbow using MRI [3–8]. Axial imaging is often used, providing short-axis images of the tendon, to accurately show the anatomy and disease of the distal biceps tendon. In many circu...

Objective To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on rehabilitation of motor function, reduction in lymphoedema and improvement in perceived heaviness and tightness in the arms of women who had undergone breast cancer surgery. Subjects and Methods Twenty nine women who had had mastectomy or segmentectomy with axillary dissection, presenting with lymphoedema and/or a decrease in movement amplitude...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the movement of unilateral trans-femoral amputees' gait and find patterns of compensated movement to accommodate the loss of locomotor power on one side. A 3-D analyzer system and force plate were used to measure 12 amputees. The main focus was to find characterized movement particularly of the upper body such as pelvis, shoulder and arms. It was Saunders...
