Evaluation of rotator cuff muscle strength in healthy individuals
OBJECTIVE To compare the strength generated by the rotator muscles of the shoulder joint between the right upper limb and left upper limb among healthy individuals. METHODS To evaluate the muscle strength of upper limbs from isometric contractions in the horizontal direction (rotation) an isometric dynamometer was used, equipped with transducers, signal conditioning, a data acquisition board,...
متن کاملNormal isometric strength of rotator cuff muscles in adults
OBJECTIVES The most prevalent disorders of the shoulder are related to the muscles of rotator cuff. In order to develop a mechanical method for the evaluation of the rotator cuff muscles, we created a database of isometric force generation by the rotator cuff muscles in normal adult population. We hypothesised the existence of variations according to age, gender and dominancy of limb. METHODS...
متن کاملPullout strength of suture anchors used in rotator cuff repair.
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment of rotator cuff tears may be complicated by osteoporosis of the proximal part of the humerus. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pullout strength of suture anchors is affected by the location of the anchor placement and by bone mineral density. We hypothesized that higher bone mineral density is associated with higher pullout strength of suture anch...
متن کاملMechanical strength of repairs of the rotator cuff.
We have studied the mechanical properties of several current techniques of tendon-to-bone suture employed in rotator-cuff repair. Non-absorbable braided polyester and absorbable polyglactin and polyglycolic acid sutures best combined ultimate tensile strength and stiffness. Polyglyconate and polydioxanone sutures failed only at high loads, but elongated considerably under moderate loads. We the...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Rotator Cuff Repairs Revised to Shoulder Arthroplasty
Background: Successful repair of a torn rotator cuff may prevent progression to rotator cuff arthropathy. However,previous studies have shown a substantial rate of failure after rotator cuff repair and characteristics of surgicallyrepaired rotator cuffs that go on to shoulder arthroplasty have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study wasto determine the patient cha...
