The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of standardized anterior glenohumeral capsular lesions on axial humeral rotation in a full arc of glenohumeral elevation. Using a testing apparatus, the range of internal and external humeral rotation was assessed in an arc of glenohumeral elevation in the scapular plane with steps of 15 degrees in six isolated shoulder joint specimens. Cutting of the glenohumeral joint capsule 1 cm laterally from, and parallel to the glenoid rim was performed in seven steps of 1 cm till the anterior capsule was cut. Capsular lesions were made in three ways: from inferior, from superior and from the middle of the capsule. Anterior capsular lesions resulted in significant increase of external humeral rotation. This occurred particularly at 15-60 degrees glenohumeral elevation. Lesions of the inferior part of the capsule mainly increased external rotation at 30-60 degrees glenohumeral elevation, lesions of the superior part mainly in lower elevation angles and lesions of the middle more gradually in the range till 60 degrees of glenohumeral elevation. Cutting of the anterior glenohumeral capsule barely increased passive axial humeral rotation at elevation angles over 60 degrees. Above 60 degrees glenohumeral elevation, tightening of the inferior posterior glenohumeral joint capsule prevented both internal and, increasingly, external humeral rotation. From these observations it is concluded that increased external rotation correlates with progressive anterior capsular lesions, mainly below 60 degrees glenohumeral elevation. To assess anterior glenohumeral capsular lesions in patients, axial humeral rotation tests should probably not exceed 60 degrees glenohumeral elevation, i.e. 90 degrees thoracohumeral elevation.  相似文献

Imbalance of the eccentrically-activated external rotator cuff muscles versus the concentrically-activated internal rotator cuff muscles is a primary risk factor for glenohumeral joint injuries in overhead activity athletes. Nonisokinetic dynamometer based strength training studies, however, have focused exclusively on resulting concentric instead of applicable eccentric strength gains of the external rotator cuff muscles. Furthermore, previous strength training studies did not result in a reduction in glenoumeral joint muscle imbalance, thereby suggesting that currently used shoulder strength training programs do not effectively reduce the risk of shoulder injury to the overhead activity athlete. Two collegiate women tennis teams, consisting of 12 women, participated in this study throughout their preseason training. One team (n = 6) participated in a 5-week, 4 times a week, external shoulder rotator muscle strength training program next to their preseason tennis training. The other team (n = 6) participated in a comparable preseason tennis training program, but did not conduct any upper body strength training. Effects of this strength training program were evaluated by comparing pre- and posttraining data of 5 maximal eccentric external immediately followed by concentric internal contractions on a Kin-Com isokinetic dynamometer (Chattecx Corp., Hixson, Tennessee). Overall, the shoulder strength training program significantly increased eccentric external total work without significant effects on concentric internal total work, concentric internal mean peak force, or eccentric external mean peak force. In conclusion, by increasing the eccentric external total exercise capacity without a subsequent increase in the concentric internal total exercise capacity, this strength training program potentially decreases shoulder rotator muscle imbalances and the risk for shoulder injuries to overhead activity athletes.  相似文献

A non-anatomical reinsertion of the supraspinatus medially to the original footprint to avoid over-tensioning of the tendon in large and retracted tears is one surgical option in rotator cuff (RC) repair. The purpose of the study was to determine the biomechanical effects on the glenohumeral joint with regard to this surgical technique. A modified musculoskeletal computational shoulder model was used to evaluate the change in moment arms and muscle forces of the RC and the co-contracting muscles and the alteration of the joint reaction forces (compressive and shear forces) after reinsertion of the supraspinatus 5?mm, 10?mm, 15?mm and 20?mm medially to the original footprint. A medialization of the supraspinatus reduces its moment arm in glenohumeral abduction. In case of a medialization of the attachment of 15?mm and 20?mm, the supraspinatus restricts glenohumeral abduction at 54° and 68°. In glenohumeral forward flexion and in lower degrees of internal rotation the moment arm of the supraspinatus increases for a medialized tendon attachment and decreases in external rotation in relation to the anatomical condition. A medialization of the supraspinatus insertion point yields in an increase in muscle force for abduction, internal and external rotation. In the present model a medially non-anatomic reinsertion reduces significantly the compressive glenohumeral joint reaction and the glenohumeral stability. Moreover, the results show that a medialization of the supraspinatus leads to a reduction of the supraspinatus moment arm especially in abduction. This leads to an increase of a compensatory supraspinatus load for stabilization the humerus in space, which may potentially cause a postoperative overload of the tendon-bone-complex.  相似文献

Beach volleyball is a sport with a high demand of shoulder structures that may lead to adaptations in range of motion (ROM) and strength like in other overhead sports. Despite of these possible alterations, no study evaluated the shoulder adaptations in young beach volleyball athletes. The aim of this study was to compare the bilateral ROM and rotation strength in the shoulders of young beach volleyball players. Goniometric passive shoulder ROM of motion and isometric rotational strength were evaluated in 19 male and 14 female asymptomatic athletes. External and internal ROM, total rotation motion, glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD), external rotation and internal rotation strength, bilateral deficits and external rotation to internal rotation ratio were measured. The statistical analysis included paired Student’s t-test and analysis of variance with repeated measures. Significantly lower dominant GIRD was found in both groups (p < 0.05), but only 6 athletes presented pathological GIRD. For strength variables, no significant differences for external or internal rotation were evident. Young beach volleyball athletes present symmetric rotational strength and shoulder ROM rotational adaptations that can be considered as anatomical. These results indicate that young practitioners of beach volleyball are subject to moderate adaptations compared to those reported for other overhead sports.  相似文献

The kinematics and stability of the shoulder during in-vitro simulation are affected by the muscles chosen for simulation and their loads. Existing simulators have commonly actuated the rotator cuff and deltoids; however, the contribution of secondary muscles, such as those which form the conjoined tendon, are not well understood. The conjoined tendon consists of the origins of the short head of the biceps and coracobrachialis (SH&C), and is thought to produce an anterior stabilizing effect. This study investigated the effect of SH&C tension at four loading levels: 0, 5, 10, 15N. Our primary outcome variable was glenohumeral stiffness for anterior loading but internal/external rotation and extension ranges of motion were also measured. Four joint configurations were tested: adduction and 90° combined abduction, each in neutral and maximal external rotation. Increasing SH&C load resulted in a significant trend of increased glenohumeral stiffness across the average of all joint configurations (p=0.008). In abduction, neutral rotation differences were found between the stiffness at 10 and 15N compared to 0N (p=0.038 and 0.043, respectively); however, no differences were found for the three other joint configurations. There was a tendency for a decrease in the range of shoulder extension with increasing SH&C load, but this did not achieve significance (p=0.065). These findings demonstrate that the SH&C provides a stabilizing barrier effect, but only in configurations when it wraps directly anterior to the humeral head. Thus SH&C loading is likely critical to in-vitro simulation due to its effect on joint stability and kinematics.  相似文献

Static optimization is commonly employed in musculoskeletal modeling to estimate muscle and joint loading; however, the ability of this approach to predict antagonist muscle activity at the shoulder is poorly understood. Antagonist muscles, which contribute negatively to a net joint moment, are known to be important for maintaining glenohumeral joint stability. This study aimed to compare muscle and joint force predictions from a subject-specific neuromusculoskeletal model of the shoulder driven entirely by measured muscle electromyography (EMG) data with those from a musculoskeletal model employing static optimization. Four healthy adults performed six sub-maximal upper-limb contractions including shoulder abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, internal rotation and external rotation. EMG data were simultaneously measured from 16 shoulder muscles using surface and intramuscular electrodes, and joint motion evaluated using video motion analysis. Muscle and joint forces were calculated using both a calibrated EMG-driven neuromusculoskeletal modeling framework, and musculoskeletal model simulations that employed static optimization. The EMG-driven model predicted antagonistic muscle function for pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi and teres major during abduction and flexion; supraspinatus during adduction; middle deltoid during extension; and subscapularis, pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi during external rotation. In contrast, static optimization neural solutions showed little or no recruitment of these muscles, and preferentially activated agonistic prime movers with large moment arms. As a consequence, glenohumeral joint force calculations varied substantially between models. The findings suggest that static optimization may under-estimate the activity of muscle antagonists, and therefore, their contribution to glenohumeral joint stability.  相似文献

In an individualized athlete's conditioning program, it is desirable to use techniques of single-case research. However, it remains an unsettled question whether statistical analyses are possible in a single-case design. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the conditioning of a tennis player by statistical analyses over a season using a single-case design. Two male collegiate tennis players (subjects A and B) were observed independently and monitored by self-monitoring sheets during a 6-month tennis season (off-season, preseason, and in-season) using parameters such as performance readiness and performance. Factor analysis was used to extract the fluctuation components of performance readiness. A randomization test was used to examine the difference between means of performance readiness between Deltaoff-pre, Deltapre-in, and Deltaoff-in seasons. The performance readiness increased significantly (p < 0.05) toward a peak date in subject B (p < 0.05). In conclusion, a randomization test was an effective coaching tool to evaluate the conditioning of a tennis player over a training season.  相似文献

Aerobic capacity and body composition were measured at 3 time points over a 1-year period in 26 Division 1A women soccer players from Texas A&M University, in order to determine whether there were seasonal changes in these parameters. Subjects were tested in December, immediately following a 4-month competitive season; in April, following 15 weeks of strength and conditioning; and immediately prior to the start of the regular season in August, following a 12-week summer strength and conditioning program. A periodized strength and conditioning program design was incorporated in order to optimize anaerobic and oxidative capacity immediately prior to the regular competitive season. Significant differences in VO2max were measured between August (49.24 +/- 4.38 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and December (44.87 +/- 4.61 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)). No significant changes in aerobic capacity were found between April (47.43 +/- 4.01 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and August (49.64 +/- 5.25 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)). Significant increases in body fat were measured between August (15.71 +/- 2.92%) and December (18.78 +/- 2.79%), before and after the competitive season, respectively. No significant changes in body fat were found between April (16.24 +/- 2.95%) and August (15.71 +/- 2.92%). The results of this study suggest that decreases in muscle mass over the course of a regular competitive season contribute to decreases in aerobic capacity in collegiate women soccer players. Although it is unknown whether this decrease in muscle mass is the result of inadequate training or a normal adaptation to the physiological demands imposed by soccer, the results of the current study suggest that resistance training volume should be maintained during the competitive season, in order to maintain preseason levels of muscle mass.  相似文献

There is a paucity of data in the literature on the restraining effects of the glenohumeral (GH) ligaments; cadaveric testing is one of the best methods for determining the function of these types of tissues. The aim of this work was to commission a custom-made six degrees of freedom (dof) joint loading apparatus and to establish a protocol for laxity testing of cadaveric shoulder specimens. Nine cadaveric shoulder specimens were used in this study and each specimen had all muscle resected leaving the scapula, humerus (transected at mid-shaft) and GH capsule. Specimens were mounted on the testing apparatus with the joint in the neutral position and at 30°, 60° and 90° GH abduction in the coronal, scapula and 30° forward flexion planes. For each orientation, 0–1 N m in 0.1 N m increments was applied in internal/external rotation and the angular displacement recorded. The toe-region of the moment–displacement curves ended at approximately ±0.5 N m. The highest rotational range of motion for the joint was 140° for ±1.0 N m at 30° GH abduction in the scapula plane. The range of motion shifted towards external rotation with increasing levels of abduction. The results provide the optimum loading regime to pre-condition shoulder specimens and minimise viscoelastic effects in the ligaments prior to laxity testing (>0.5 N m at 30° GH abduction in any of the three planes). Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the GH capsuloligamentous complex has implications for modelling of the shoulder as well surgical planning and intervention.  相似文献

Background

The lack of recovery of active external rotation of the shoulder is an important problem in children suffering from brachial plexus lesions involving the suprascapular nerve. The accessory nerve neurotization to the suprascapular nerve is a standard procedure, performed to improve shoulder motion in patients with brachial plexus palsy.

Methods

We operated on 65 patients with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP), aged 5-35 months (average: 19 months). We assessed the recovery of passive and active external rotation with the arm in abduction and in adduction. We also looked at the influence of the restoration of the muscular balance between the internal and the external rotators on the development of a gleno-humeral joint dysplasia. Intraoperatively, suprascapular nerve samples were taken from 13 patients and were analyzed histologically.

Results

Most patients (71.5%) showed good recovery of the active external rotation in abduction (60°-90°). Better results were obtained for the external rotation with the arm in abduction compared to adduction, and for patients having only undergone the neurotization procedure compared to patients having had complete plexus reconstruction. The neurotization operation has a positive influence on the glenohumeral joint: 7 patients with clinical signs of dysplasia before the reconstructive operation did not show any sign of dysplasia in the postoperative follow-up.

Conclusion

The neurotization procedure helps to recover the active external rotation in the shoulder joint and has a good prevention influence on the dysplasia in our sample. The nerve quality measured using histopathology also seems to have a positive impact on the clinical results.  相似文献

The anterior-inferior glenohumeral capsule is the primary passive stabilizer to the glenohumeral joint during anterior dislocation. Physical examinations following dislocation are crucial for proper diagnosis of capsule pathology; however, they are not standardized for joint position which may lead to misdiagnoses and poor outcomes. To suggest joint positions for physical examinations where the stability provided by the capsule may be consistent among patients, the objective of this study was to evaluate the distribution of maximum principal strain on the anterior-inferior capsule using two validated subject-specific finite element models of the glenohumeral joint at clinically relevant joint positions. The joint positions with 25 N anterior load applied at 60° of glenohumeral abduction and 10°, 20°, 30° and 40° of external rotation resulted in distributions of strain that were similar between shoulders (r2 ≥ 0.7). Furthermore, those positions with 20-40° of external rotation resulted in capsule strains on the glenoid side of the anterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament that were significantly greater than in all other capsule regions. These findings suggest that anterior stability provided by the anterior-inferior capsule may be consistent among subjects at joint positions with 60° of glenohumeral abduction and a mid-range (20-40°) of external rotation, and that the glenoid side has the greatest contribution to stability at these joint positions. Therefore, it may be possible to establish standard joint positions for physical examinations that clinicians can use to effectively diagnose pathology in the anterior-inferior capsule following dislocation and lead to improved outcomes.  相似文献

To achieve maximal force output, clinicians and coaches have been experimenting with upper extremity plyometric exercises for years, without sufficient scientific validation of this training method. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of an 8-week course of high volume upper extremity plyometric training on the isokinetic strength and throwing velocity of a group of intercollegiate baseball players. Twenty-four Division I collegiate baseball players (age: 19.7 +/- 1.3 years; height: 183.9 +/- 5.9 cm; mass: 90.7 +/- 10.5 kg) were recruited to participate in this study. Throwing velocity, isokinetic peak torque, isokinetic functional strength ratios, and time to peak torque were measured pre- and posttraining. Subjects were rank-ordered according to concentric internal rotation (IR) strength and were assigned randomly to either the plyometric training group (PLY) or the control group (CON). Training consisted of 6 upper extremity plyometric exercises ("Ballistic Six") performed twice per week for 8 weeks. Subjects assigned to CON performed regular off-season strength and conditioning activities, but did not perform plyometric activities. PLY demonstrated significant increases (p < 0.05) in throwing velocity following 8 weeks of training when compared with CON (83.15 mph [pre] vs. 85.15 mph [post]). There were no statistically significant differences in any of the isokinetic strength measurements between PLY and CON groups pre- to posttraining. Statistically significant differences were seen within PLY for concentric IR and eccentric external rotation (ER) isokinetic strength at 180 degrees x s(-1) and 300 degrees x s(-1); and within CON for eccentric ER isokinetic strength at 300 degrees x s(-1) and concentric IR isokinetic strength at 180 degrees x s(-1). The Ballistic Six training protocol can be a beneficial supplement to a baseball athlete's off-season conditioning by improving functional performance and strengthening the rotator cuff musculature.  相似文献

This study examined the effect of the polar moment of inertia of a tennis racket on upper limb loading in the serve. Eight amateur competition tennis players performed two sets of 10 serves using two rackets identical in mass, position of center of mass and moments of inertia other than the polar moment of inertia (0.00152 vs 0.00197 kg.m2). An eight-camera motion analysis system collected the 3D trajectories of 16 markers, located on the thorax, upper limbs and racket, from which shoulder, elbow and wrist net joint moments and powers were computed using inverse dynamics. During the cocking phase, increased racket polar moment of inertia was associated with significant increases in the peak shoulder extension and abduction moments, as well the peak elbow extension, valgus and supination moments. During the forward swing phase, peak wrist extension and radial deviation moments significantly increased with polar moment of inertia. During the follow-through phase, the peak shoulder adduction, elbow pronation and wrist external rotation moments displayed a significant inverse relationship with polar moment of inertia. During the forward swing, the magnitudes of negative joint power at the elbow and wrist were significantly larger when players served using the racket with a higher polar moment of inertia. Although a larger polar of inertia allows players to better tolerate off-center impacts, it also appears to place additional loads on the upper extremity when serving and may therefore increase injury risk in tennis players.  相似文献

This study was conducted to test whether glenohumeral geometry, as measured through MRI scans, is correlated with upper arm strength. The isometric shoulder strength of 12 subjects during one-handed arm abduction in the coronal plane, in a range from 5 degrees to 30 degrees , was correlated with the geometries of their glenoid fossas. Seven parameters describing the glenohumeral joint geometry in the coronal plane were identified as having expected influence on shoulder strength. In addition to these, a new geometric parameter, named the area of glenoid asymmetry (AGA), was considered to reflect the concavity-compression mechanism as well as the inclination of the glenoid surface. As a result of the high correlation between the AGA and mean force and mean moment (0.80, p0.01 and 0.69, p 相似文献

The objectives of this research were to develop a methodology for three-dimensional finite element (FE) modeling of the inferior glenohumeral ligament complex (IGHL complex) as a continuous structure, to determine optimal mesh density for FE simulations, to examine strains and forces in the IGHL complex in clinically relevant joint positions, and to perform sensitivity studies to assess the effects of assumed material properties. A simple translation test in the anterior direction was performed on a cadaveric shoulder, with the humerus oriented at 60 degrees of glenohumeral abduction and 0 degrees of flexion/extension, at 0 degrees , 30 degrees and 60 degrees of humeral external rotation. The geometries of the relevant structures were extracted from volumetric CT data to create a FE model. Experimentally measured kinematics were applied to the FE model to simulate the simple translation test. First principal strains, insertion site forces and contact forces were analyzed. At maximum anterior humeral translation, strains in the IGHL complex were highly inhomogeneous for all external rotation angles. The motion of the humerus with respect to the glenoid during the simple translation test produced a tangential load at the proximal and distal edges of the IGHL complex. This loading was primarily in the plane of the inferior glenohumeral ligament complex, producing an in-plane shear-loading pattern. There was a significant increase in strain with increasing angle of external rotation. The largest insertion site forces occurred at the axillary pouch insertion to the humerus (36.7N at 60 degrees of external rotation) and the highest contact forces were between the anterior band of the IGHL complex and the humeral cartilage (7.3N at 60 degrees of external rotation). Strain predictions were highly sensitive to changes in the ratio of bulk to shear modulus of the IGHL complex, while predictions were moderately sensitive to changes in elastic modulus of the IGHL complex. Changes to the material properties of the humeral cartilage had little effect on predicted strains. The methodologies developed in this research and the results of the mesh convergence and sensitivity studies provide a basis for the subject-specific modeling of the mechanics of the IGHL complex.  相似文献

Upper-arm evaluation including shoulder motion in physiotherapy has no three-dimensional tool for an arm-functioning evaluation, which hampers an uniform, objective comparison. Human shoulder complex models suffer from lack of shoulder girdle kinematic data. A kinematic shoulder-complex model with six degrees of freedom is proposed as the composition of the inner joint representing the shoulder-girdle joints and outer joint representing the glenohumeral joint. The outer shoulder joint has three perpendicular rotations: adduction/abduction, retroflexion/flexion and internal/external rotation of the humerus. The inner shoulder joint has two rotations, depression/elevation and retraction/protraction, and one translation, which are all dependent on the elevation angle of the humerus. The human arm-reachable workspace that represents the area within reach of the wrist is calculated on the basis of the shoulder-complex model and the additional elbow-joint direct kinematics. It was demonstrated that cross-sections of the calculated workspace are in agreement with the measured arm-reachable workspace in all three anatomical planes. The arm-reachable workspace volume and graphics were calculated and a comparison of the arm's workspaces during a patient's shoulder treatment was made. The obtained numerical and graphical arm-reachable workspaces can be used for arm-functioning evaluations in rehabilitation and ergonomics.  相似文献

This study determined the ratio between glenohumeral and three-dimensional scapular motion during arm elevation and lowering in 91 individuals without shoulder pain. Scapular kinematics were assessed using an electromagnetic tracking device. Individuals performed 3 repetitions of elevation and lowering of the arm in the sagittal plane. Two-way ANOVAs (interval: 30–60°, 60–90°, 90–120° x phase: elevation and lowering) and paired t-tests were used for data analysis. For scapular internal/external rotation, lesser scapular internal rotation contribution was found during the 60–90° interval as compared to the 90–60° interval. Lesser scapular external rotation was identified in the 60–30° interval of arm lowering. The ratio was greater during arm elevation (1.89) compared to lowering (1.74) across the entire motion arc. For scapular upward rotation, greater upward rotation contribution was observed during arm elevation at the 30–60° interval, and less scapular downward rotation contribution in the final range of arm lowering. For scapular tilt, lesser scapular posterior tilt contribution during arm elevation was observed compared to arm lowering. The ratios between glenohumeral elevation/lowering and each individual scapulothoracic motion showed either differences between intervals and/or between elevation and lowering during specific intervals in healthy individuals.  相似文献

Hominoids and atelines are known to use suspensory behaviors and are assumed to possess greater hip joint mobility than nonsuspensory monkeys, particularly for range of abduction. This assumption has greatly influenced how extant and fossil primate hip joint morphology has been interpreted, despite the fact that there are no data available on hip mobility in hominoids or Ateles. This study uses in vivo measurements to test the hypothesis that suspensory anthropoids have significantly greater ranges of hip joint mobility than nonsuspensory anthropoids. Passive hip joint mobility was measured on a large sample of anesthetized captive anthropoids (nonhuman hominids = 43, hylobatids = 6, cercopithecids = 43, Ateles = 6, and Cebus = 6). Angular and linear data were collected using goniometers and tape measures. Range of motion (ROM) data were analyzed for significant differences by locomotor group using ANOVA and phylogenetic regression. The data demonstrate that suspensory anthropoids are capable of significantly greater hip abduction and external rotation. Degree of flexion and internal rotation were not larger in the suspensory primates, indicating that suspension is not associated with a global increase in hip mobility. Future work should consider the role of external rotation in abduction ability, how the physical position of the distal limb segments are influenced by differences in ROM proximally, as well as focus on bony and soft tissue differences that enable or restrict abduction and external rotation at the anthropoid hip joint.
