Essential oils (EOs) are extracted from plants and contain active components with
therapeutic effects. Evidence shows that various types of EOs have a wide range of health …

Shoulder function is a compromise between mobility and stability. Its large mobility is based
on the structure of the glenohumeral joint and simultaneous motion of all segments of the …

Objective: Movements of the human shoulder represent the result of a complex dynamic
interplay of structural bony anatomy and biomechanics, static ligamentous and tendinous …

The authors conducted a study to determine if the long head of the biceps muscle and its
attachment at the superior glenoid labrum play a role in stability of the shoulder in an …

The purpose of this study was to characterize the role of the capsule in the interval between
the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons with respect to glenohumeral motion …

Tears of the rotator cuff are frequent. An estimated 250,000 to 500,000 repairs are performed
annually in the United States. Rotator cuff repairs have been successful despite fatty …

To determine the influence of rotator cuff muscle activity on humeral head migration relative
to the glenoid during active arm elevation we studied five fresh cadaveric shoulders. The …

The purpose of this study was to determine the contri butions of specific capsuloligamentous
structures to restraining superior-inferior translation of the glenohu meral joint. Eleven …

The shoulder is characterized foremost by its mobility and large range of motion. The
glenohumeral joint is notable for its relative lack of bony constraint, relying heavily on the …

We conducted this cadaveric study to define a biome chanical rationale for rotator cuff
function in several deficiency states. A dynamic shoulder testing appara tus was used to …
