From medical data to simple virtual mock-up of scapulo-humeral joint
2008
The surgical operations of shoulder joint are guided by various principles: osteosynthesis in the case of fracture, osteotomy in order to correct a deformation or to modify the functioning of the joint, or implementation of articular prosthesis. At the end of the twentieth century, many innovations in the domains of biomechanics and orthopedic surgery have been performed. Nevertheless, theoretical and practical problems may appear during the operation (visual field of surgeon is very limited, quality and shape of the bone is variable depending on the patient). Biomechanical criteria of success are defined for each intervention. For example, the installation with success of prosthetic implan…
''Isokinetic intervention in microtraumatic shoulder instability: an update''
2012
Gremeaux, V. | Croisier, J. L. | Forthomme, B.; International audience; ''Aim. Aim of the present study was to carry out a critical analysis of the use of isokinetic dynamometers for evaluation and rehabilitation in microtraumatic shoulder instability. Methods. A non-systematic literature review was conducted on Medline using the following key words: "isokinetics", "shoulder instability", "evaluation", "rehabilitation". We also analyzed the related articles, and compiled a database of expert opinion. Results. Despite a lack of consensus on testing modalities, lateral and medial rotator muscle strength can be safely and reliably assessed on isokinetic devices in subjects presenting with micr…
