Filter by:Rotator cuff tears are common musculoskeletal injuries that can lead to altered scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation patterns and reduced function. This study aims to investigate the relationship between rotator cuff tear severity and scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation patterns. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between the severity of rotator cuff tears and the activation patterns of scapular and rotator cuff muscles. Secondary objectives include: 1. Identifying differences in muscle activation patterns between varying tear sizes. 2. Evaluating the potential of these activation patterns as an indicator for the severity of rotator cuff tears. 3. Assessing the influence of muscle activation patterns on the functional capacity of the affected shoulder.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the bridging reconstruction technique vs the lower trapezius tendon transfer in patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. The main questions it aims to answer are: - comparing the outcomes of the two surgical techniques (BRR with an acellular human dermal allograft implant vs Arthroscopic Assisted LTT Transfer) on the maintenance of the acromiohumeral distance - compare the outcomes of strength, range of motion, and patient reported quality of life scores between the two techniques Participants will be randomized into one of two surgical treatment groups (bridging reconstruction or lower trapezius tendon transfer) and followed for a minimum of two years to compare the outcomes between groups.
In this prospective study, subjects older than 55 years with a degenerative asymptomatic rotator cuff tears will be followed for a period of 2 years. After testing, a symptom registration form will be filled in every 3 months. The test moment consists of pain measurements (pain pressure thresholds and conditioned pain modulation), biomechanical measurements (strength (including hand grip strength), range of motion, ultrasound (while measuring electromyographic activity) and shear wave elastography) and psychosocial measurements (psychosocial questionnaires).
The teres major and pectoralis major are adductors and may play a compensatory role for deficit in rotator cuff function. The investigators aim to (1) determine the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the two adductors for the outcomes in symptomatic rotator cuff tear subjects, and (2) evaluate the immediate effect of NMES on the co-contraction of the adductors.Thirty symptomatic rotator cuff tear subjects will have NMES on the two adductors. The investigators will measure the acromiohumeral distance by ultrasonography and scapular kinematics during arm elevation with a three-dimensional motion tracking system. Co-contractions will be calculated by surface electromyography.
The goal of the Shoulder iD™ Primary Reversed Glenoid Outcomes Clinical Study is to collect safety and performance data on the commercially available Shoulder iD™ Primary Reversed Glenoid device. The study will learn about standard device use in adult patients who have a functional deltoid muscle and massive and non-repairable rotator cuff tear. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the average improvement in patient-reported shoulder function after 2 years when compared to before the surgery, and - What is the rate of surgical revisions needed over a 10 year period Patients will be asked to will be asked to regularly attend their check-up visits with their surgeon (including having x-rays or CT images taken to check their shoulder and implant), to complete questionnaires to report how their shoulder is doing, and to tell their surgeon when they notice any changes.
The use of biologic acellular matrices for the surgical augmentation of rotator cuff lesions has greatly expanded inrecent years. The study team patented a method for removing cells from human dermis (Acellular Dermal Matrix), maintaining unaltered biological and structural integrity. Acellular Dermal Matrix has been succesfully used for rotator cuff surgical repair augmentation beside in a limited number of patients. The aim of the project is to demonstrate the therapeutical efficacy of this strategy in patients affected by rotator cuff massive tears. Acellular Dermal Matrix will be also combined with autologous orthobiologics.
Different treatment options are available for massive or irreparable rotator cuff tears. An arthroscopic or an open repair approach is possible in the majority of cases and functional outcomes are improved, particularly when a complete arthroscopic repair can be achieved. However, the healing rate of massive rotator cuff tears after repair may remain low and failure of healing is associated with progression of arthritis. An alternative to arthroscopic or open repair is reverse shoulder arthroplasty which decreases pain and improves function, active shoulder elevation and quality of life. The primary goal of this prospective multicentric randomized study is to determine if there is a difference of functional outcomes between rotator cuff repair (RCR) repair and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
The FIMAGE-Trauma study is an extension of the FIMAGE study and aims to answer the question if rotator cuff tears found on shoulder imaging after a shoulder injury are caused by the index trauma or are rather incidental findings. Eligible participants of the FIMAGE study will be invited to a follow up visit in the case of a shoulder injury or a sudden onset of significant shoulder symptoms (within a 2-year time frame). These findings will then be compared to the baseline data collected in the FIMAGE study (including the comparison of pre-injury and post-injury MRI:s)
The study is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, noncontrolled, and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Quattro® X Suture Anchor with BroadBand™ Tape and Instruments when used in rotator cuff repair. The primary endpoint of this study is the assessment of performance by analyzing soft tissue to bone healing in the shoulder (rotator cuff). Healing will be assessed by the investigator using PROMs and clinical outcomes of the patient. The clinical benefit will be assessed by functional outcomes measured using standard and well-established scoring systems (e.g. Constant & Murley and EQ-5D-5L) at 1 year post-operative. The safety will be assessed by monitoring the incidence and frequency of device- and/or procedure-related adverse events.
In the Finnish Imaging of Shoulder study we will recruit 600 participants from a nationally representative general population sample. Participants aged 40 to 75 years will be invited to a clinical visit that includes assessment of general health, shoulder history and symptoms, and bilateral clinical examination and shoulder imaging (both plain radiography and MRI). We aim to assess the prevalence of abnormal imaging findings in both asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals and explore possible risk factors for abnormal imaging findings and shoulder symptoms.
