Superior Glenohumeral Translation in Patients With Degenerative Rotator Cuff Tears

NCT03717571 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 21

Last updated 2022-03-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Degenerative partial and complete rupture of the rotator cuff is a common injury among elder patients. However, the clinical manifestation varies largely with some patients having severe pain and limiting range of motion and others having no complaints. The basic functions of the rotator cuff are to facilitate shoulder motion and stabilization and centering of the glenohumeral joint. The objective of this study is to quantify the difference in superior glenohumeral translation in patients with degenerative rotator cuff tear compared to healthy control subjects and to determine the effect of isolated complete supraspinatus tear and combined complete supraspinatus and either partial infraspinatus or partial subscapularis tear.
