Profiling Mean Healthy Shoulder Multi-planar Elevation Kinematics and Variability Using Skin-mounted Scapula Tracking Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Quantifying healthy shoulder motion enables comparisons to special (e.g. athletic, injured) populations and allows for the identification of mechanisms of diminished performance. Although previous work has documented shoulder motion using bone pins [1], the overall applicability is limited due to small sample sizes, and because the majority of shoulder kinematic studies utilize skin-mounted motion capture techniques for pragmatic reasons. Also, past investigations tend to focus solely on scapular plane abduction. This study generated an extensive collection of healthy 3-dimensional (3D) dynamic sternoclavicular (SC), acromioclavicular (AC), scapula-thoracic (ST), and glenohumeral (GH) kinematic profiles collected in multiple vertical movement planes utilizing skin-mounted shoulder motion capture.

The shoulder complex is prone to numerous pathologies and instabilities due to its large range of motion. The extent of injury is assessed through a series of observations and physical examinations. It is hypothesized that objective kinematic analysis of the shoulder could yield useful functional insights to aid clinical practice. Non-invasive motion analysis techniques to monitor shoulder func...
متن کاملScapula kinematics of pull-up techniques: Avoiding impingement risk with training changes
OBJECTIVES Overhead athletic activities and scapula dyskinesia are linked with shoulder pathology; pull-ups are a common training method for some overhead sports. Different pull-up techniques exist: anecdotally some are easier to perform, and others linked to greater incidences of pathology. This study aims to quantify scapular kinematics and external forces for three pull-up techniques, thus d...

An accurate assessment of shoulder kinematics is useful for understanding healthy normal and pathological mechanics. Small variability in identifying and locating anatomical landmarks (ALs) has potential to affect reported shoulder kinematics. The objectives of this study were to quantify the effect of landmark location variability on scapular and humeral kinematic descriptions for multiple sub...

متن کاملThree-Dimensional Scapular Kinematics in Patients with Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty during Arm Motion
BACKGROUND There have been few reports on altered kinematics of the shoulder after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). We investigated differences in 3-dimensional (3D) scapular motions assessed using an optical tracking system between RTSA treated shoulders and asymptomatic contralateral shoulders during arm motion. METHODS Thirteen patients who underwent RTSA were assessed for activ...
