Key result
In vivo shoulder dynamics reveal biomechanical differences across normal, rotator cuff-deficient, and replacement shoulders.
Why the study?
Patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder experience pain and decreased range of motion, with most having an intact rotator cuff, but the rotator cuff may function differently in various shoulder conditions.
