Clinical Tests Diagnostic for Rotator Cuff Tear
This clinical outcomes study aimed to determine the commonly used shoulder tests predictive for rotator cuff tear (RCT). The study was carried out in 2 parts involving 400 patients who attended the senior author’s practice (n = 100/group). Part I compared patients with isolated RCTs and a “No-RCT” group. Part II compared RCT patients (some with isolated RCTs, others with RCTs and combined patho...
متن کاملMuscle gene expression patterns in human rotator cuff pathology.
BACKGROUND Rotator cuff pathology is a common source of shoulder pain with variable etiology and pathoanatomical characteristics. Pathological processes of fatty infiltration, muscle atrophy, and fibrosis have all been invoked as causes for poor outcomes after rotator cuff tear repair. The aims of this study were to measure the expression of key genes associated with adipogenesis, myogenesis, a...
متن کاملBiomechanical factors in rotator cuff pathology.
The rotator cuff provides dynamic stability and is critical to normal shoulder function. Forces generated by the rotator cuff facilitate the motions involved in activities of daily living and the more demanding movements of athletics and manual labor. Injury and pathology of the rotator cuff are common and the unique anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the cuff contribute to the eti...
متن کاملThe intra-rater reliability of measured thoracic spine mobility in chronic rotator cuff pathology.
OBJECTIVES The relationship between thoracic spine dysfunction and painful shoulder pathologies is poorly understood. This study sought to determine the intra-rater reliability of a protocol aimed at assessing the active mobility of the thoracic spine in individuals with chronic rotator cuff pathology. METHODS Ten individuals (6 men and 4 women) with chronic rotator cuff pathology were recrui...
متن کاملRole of biomechanics in rotator cuff pathology: North American perspective.
The biomechanical properties of, and mechanical environment surrounding, the rotator cuff continue to be a research area of great interest as injury and failure of these tendons are among the most common of shoulder pathologies, with incidence increasing in older populations. Recent literature has refined our knowledge of the anatomy, the role of the various tendons in movement and shoulder sta...
