Oïhénart et al. used a custom application called iShould (Instrumented Shoulder Test) with iPhone 4 or iPod Touch devices (Apple, Cupertino, USA) [ 16]. iShould computes kinematics range of angular velocity (RAV) score, which quantifies the shoulder movement based on angular velocities and P score, which is based on the power of shoulder movement, directly from inertial signal sensors.
To construct a classification of patients with shoulder complaints based on their physical examination.
Here we propose and test a criterion for the design of a tool shoulder diameter based on the principle of maximum utilization of supplied torque for traction.
Using the total sum scores of shoulder questionnaires based on ordinal scored items is questionable [ 31].
Furthermore, we evaluate the accuracy in predicting shoulder pathology based on MR imaging of orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists with arthroscopic findings as the standard of reference.
Several other studies have evaluated observer variation in the measurement of range of motion of the shoulder joint based on various other measurement methods [ 18- 30].
Training was completed within working hours and consisted of specific exercise training for the neck and shoulder muscles based on the principles of "Intelligent Physical Exercise Training".
The score for the power exerted by the shoulder is based on the weight (in kg) the patient can raise in abduction, to a maximum of 11 kg.
We will analyze muscle activation patterns as measured by EMG recordings of 10 shoulder muscles, based on Activation Ratio [ 58, 59] and Principal Action parameters [ 22, 51].
This type of anaesthesia is a practical choice for patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery based on the lower requirements for postoperative analgesics, reduced desflurane consumption, and the possibility of cost reduction.
We believe that our study provides a reasonably valid estimate of the reproducibility of inclinometric measurements of patients with shoulder pain, based on one measurement of each range of motion.
