Medium to long-term outcome of thoracoscapular arthrodesis with screw fixation for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Background: Shoulder girdle muscle weakness is the most constant feature of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and leads to scapular winging. Mechanical fixation of the scapula to the thoracic wall provides a stable fulcrum on which the deltoid ...

Real-time simulation of three-dimensional shoulder girdle and arm dynamics [PDF]
Electrical stimulation is a promising technology for the restoration of arm function in paralyzed individuals. Control of the paralyzed arm under electrical stimulation, however, is a challenging problem that requires advanced controllers and command ...

Ultrasonographic evaluation of normal scapula in the horse [PDF]
Scapular fracture is rare in horse, but if happen can cause severe lameness. Due to overlapping of the contralateral scapula and thorax on the scapula, usually radiography is not helpful in its evaluation except in small amount of distal part. This study

The scapula plays a critical role in the association between the upper extremity and the axial skeleton. Fractures of the scapula account for 0.4% to 1% of all fractures and have an annual incidence of approximately 10 per 100,000 inhabitants. Scapular fractures typically result from a high-energy blunt-force mechanism and are often associated with ...

The scapular musculature is often neglected in designing a rehabilitation protocol for the shoulder. Weakness of the scapular stabilizers and resultant altered biomechanics could result in: 1) abnormal stresses to the anterior capsular structures of the shoulder, 2) increased possibility of rotator cuff compression, and 3) decreased performance.

GROSS AND MORPHOMETRICAL STUDIES ON SCAPULA OF STUMP-TAILED MACAQUE (MACACA ARCTOIDES) [PDF]
The scapula was a flat triangular bone with three borders, three angles and two surfaces. Dorsal border was slightly convex and undulating whereas cranial border was much convex and thinner and ended up distally forming a distinct notch.

Digital dissection of the model organism Xenopus laevis using contrast-enhanced computed tomography [PDF]
The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is one of the most widely used model organisms in biological research. However, the most recent anatomical description of X. laevis was produced nearly a century ago.

Assessment of shoulder active range of motion in prone versus supine:A reliability and concurrent validity study [PDF]
Background: As swimming and surfing are prone dominant sports, it would be more sport specific to assess shoulder active range of motion in this position.

Biomechanical evaluation of the push-up exercise of the upper extremities from various starting points [PDF]
The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the push-up exercise of the upper extremities in respect of biomechanics, to compare the muscle function, while changing the position of performance and to examine the torso's inclination during the ...
