Reversed shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is recommended in case of severe muscle deficiency, along with important joint wear. Although having a correct placement of the prosthesis after the operation and a recovery of the mobility, several cases of scapula fra ...
When rotator cuff deficiency is present with gleno-humeral osteoarthritis, the current treatment is a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The reverse shoulder prosthesis has inverted articular surfaces: a metallic ball (glenosphere) is fixed on the scapul ...
The shoulder is a complex joint with many muscles acting between the scapula and the humerus. Thus it is obvious that the mechanical system is indeterminate and an optimization method has to be used to find the muscular forces acting on the glenohumeral jo ...
Variable definitions of outcome (Constant score, Simple Shoulder Test [SST]) have been used to assess outcome after shoulder treatment, although none has been accepted as the universal standard. Physicians lack an objective method to reliably assess the ac ...
Joint simulators are widely used to perform pre-(and post) clinical test of joint prostheses. Several experimental or commercial devices already exist for the hip and knee joints, but nothing is available yet for the shoulder joint. The first goal of this ...
The shoulder is often described as the most complex human joint because of its anatomy and the high number of muscles participating in arm movements. The anatomy and the development of muscles depend on personal characteristics and the style of living. The ...
Stability of the shoulder, more precisely the glenohumeral joint, can only be achieved in case of healthy and well coordinated muscular activity in the upper limb. Degenerative deseases like osteoarthritis, muscle deficiencies or injuries can lead to insta ...
The goal of the present work was assess the feasibility of using a pseudo-inverse and null-space optimization approach in the modeling of the shoulder biomechanics. The method was applied to a simplified musculoskeletal shoulder model. The mechanical syste ...
A biomechanical model of the human shoulder complex is proposed for quasi-static and dynamic estimation of the muscle forces and joint reaction forces in the glenohumeral joint. The model bases itself on the Garner & Pandy model but adds a dynamic layer. T ...
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has become the classical treatment for glenohumeral joint arthritis associated with rotator cuff dysfunction. The design of the prosthesis, the fixation of the implant and the surgical technique are however still to be improve ...
