Abstract Context: Anterior instability and impingement are common in overhead athletes have been associated with decreases internal rotation (IR) increases external (ER) motion. However, the chronology effect of different female sports on these conditions yet to be determined. Objective: To measure glenohumeral IR ER rotation, total range motion, scapular position over a single competitive season. Design: Multiple group pretest-posttest study. Setting: High school. Patients or Other...
Abstract Context: Conditions such as labral and rotator cuff injuries have been linked with decreases in glenohumeral internal-rotation increases external-rotation motion. Also, decreased internal rotation is strongly associated scapular dyskinesis. Objective: To compare healthy collegiate high school baseball players' joint range of motion position. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Institutional research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: Thirty-one male National Collegiate...
Abstract The rotator cuff musculature imparts dynamic stability to the glenohumeral joint. In particular, balance between subscapularis anteriorly and infraspinatus posteriorly, often referred as “force couple,” is critical for concavity compression concentric rotation of humeral head. Restoration this anterior–posterior force after chronic, massive tears may allow deltoid compensation, but no in vivo studies have quantitatively demonstrated an improvement shoulder function. Our goal was...
Achilles tendon ruptures are common and devastating injuries; however, an optimized treatment rehabilitation protocol has yet to be defined. Therefore, the objective of this study was investigate effects surgical repair return activity on joint function properties after 3 weeks healing. Sprague-Dawley rats (N = 100) received unilateral blunt transection their tendon. Animals were then randomized into repaired or non-repaired treatments, further groups that returned 1 week (RTA1) (RTA3) limb...
Achilles tendon ruptures are traumatic injuries, and techniques for assessing repair outcomes rely on patient-based measures of pain function, which do not directly assess healing. Consequently, there is a need quantitative, in vivo measure properties. Therefore, the purpose this study was to validate ultrasound imaging evaluating collagen organization tendons. In study, we compared our novel, high-frequency (HFUS) analysis method standard organization, crossed polarizer (CP) imaging....
Context: Ankle sprains are common in athletes, with functional ankle instability (FAI) developing approximately half of cases. The relationship between laxity and FAI has been inconclusive, suggesting that may be caused by insufficient sensorimotor function dynamic restraint. Research suggested deafferentation peripheral mechanoreceptors potentially causes FAI; however, direct evidence confirming sensory deficits elusive because previous investigators relied upon subjective proprioceptive...
Background Anecdotal evidence suggests an association between glenohumeral internal rotation deficits (GIRD) and scapular dysfunction, observable alteration in the normal position or motion of scapula relation to thoracic cage. Questions/purposes We therefore hypothesized players with GIRD (15° greater) will have decreased dominant arm upward increased protraction compared baseball (14° less). Methods studied 43 no current shoulder elbow symptoms; 22 had 15° greater 21 14° less. measured...
Context: Pathologies such as anterior instability and impingement are common in baseball have been linked to decreases internal rotation (IR) concurrent increases external (ER). In addition, alterations scapular position identified this population, but the chronology of these adaptations is uncertain. Objectives: To determine whether there a change range motion after single season. Design: Prospective cohort. Setting: High school. Participants: 19 high school players (age 16.6 ± 0.8 y, mass...
ABSTRACT Shoulder tendon injuries are frequently seen in the presence of abnormal scapular motion, termed dyskinesis. The cause and effect relationship between dyskinesis shoulder injury has not been directly defined. We developed used an animal model to examine initiation progression pathological changes rotator cuff biceps tendon. Sixty male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomized into two groups: nerve transection (to induce dyskinesis, SD) or sham (control). animals euthanized 4 8 weeks...
ABSTRACT The rotator cuff assists in shoulder movement and provides dynamic stability to the glenohumeral joint. Specifically, anterior–posterior (AP) force balance, provided by subscapularis anteriorly infraspinatus teres minor posteriorly, is critical for joint concentric rotation of humeral head on glenoid. However, limited understanding exists consequences associated with disruption AP balance (due tears both supraspinatus tendons) function damage. We investigated effect disrupting...
ABSTRACT Recently, diabetes has been linked to rotator cuff disease and adhesive capsulitis, conditions with increased stiffness inflammation. Unfortunately, limited research exists examining how hyperglycemia affects the native shoulder (tendon capsule) properties. Therefore, objectives of this study were compare joint mechanics, tendon properties (mechanics immunohistochemistry), capsule healthy control hyperglycemic rats 8 weeks following induction a submaximal dose streptozotocin (STZ)....
