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 …

Shoulder muscles contribute to both mobility and stability of the glenohumeral joint. To
improve treatments for shoulder instability, we focused on the contribution of the shoulder …

Background: There have been many clinical reports of patch graft surgery for irreparable
rotator cuff tears. However, the retear rate of the patch graft is relatively high because of the …

Purpose To investigate the effects of graft length and thickness on shoulder biomechanics
after superior capsule reconstruction. Methods Subacromial peak contact pressure and …

Background: Patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears have a defect of the superior capsule,
which creates discontinuity of the shoulder capsule in the transverse direction (anterior …

Background Biomechanical and clinical success of the superior capsule reconstruction
(SCR) using fascia lata (FL) grafts has been reported. In the United States, human dermal …

The finite element method described in this study provides an easy method to simulate the
kinetics of multibody mechanisms. It is used in order to develop a musculoskeletal model of …

A finite element musculoskeletal model of the shoulder mechanism consisting of the thorax,
clavicula, scapula and humerus has been used for analysis of the kinematic and dynamic …

We hypothesized that muscles crossing the elbow have fundamental differences in their
capacity for excursion, force generation, and moment generation due to differences in their …

A mathematical model of Ihe human upper limb was developed based on high-resolution
medical images of the muscles and bones obtained from the Visible Human Male (HM) …
