Subacromial impingement syndrome is the most common disorder of the shoulder, resulting
in functional loss and disability in the patients that it affects. This musculoskeletal disorder …

Abnormal scapular kinematics and associated muscle function presumably contribute to
shoulder pain and pathology. An understanding of scapular kinematic and …

The purpose of this study was to describe 3-dimensional scapular motion patterns during
dynamic shoulder movements with the use of a direct technique. Direct measurement of …

The validation of two noninvasive methods for measuring the dynamic three-dimensional
kinematics of the human scapula with a magnetic tracking device is presented. One method …

Kinematic analysis of the upper extremity has been conducted using a wide variety of
techniques, philosophies, and analytic methods. We describe a simple, marker-based three …

impingement syndrome. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2002; 83; 60-9. Objective: To quantify the …

Objective. To compare scapular orientation during both the concentric (elevation) and
eccentric (lowering) phases of scapular plane abduction in subjects with and without …

Abstract Background and Purpose. The Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST) is used to
determine scapular position with the arm abducted 0, 45, and 90 degrees in the coronal …

In this paper, a method is described for in vivo prediction of the glenohumeral joint rotation
center (GH-r), necessary for the construction of a humerus local coordinate system in …

The purpose of this paper was to provide parameters for the development of a
musculoskeletal model of the upper extremity. Five upper extremity specimens were …
