“…We looked for signs of previous surgery, associated deformity, signs of previous infection, and associated ill ness, and we recorded movements around shoulder using goniometer and examined rotator cuff muscles. [17][18][19][20][21] We got ultrasound of shoulder done by senior radiologists to look for tear. X-ray of shoulder done to look for associated pathology.…”

Objective: Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common orthopedic musculoskeletal problem gaining importance due to large health scale expenditure. Causes of rotator cuff tears are multifactorial and unclear. The previous studies have suggested relation between elevated serum lipid profile and rotator cuff tear in the western population. We, therefore, undertook study in our Indian population to correlate the association of hypercholesterolemia with rotator cuff tear. Methods:After obtaining clearance from the Institutional Ethics Committee. We prospectively collected fasting lipid samples of the population who came to our hospitals with complaints of shoulder pain during our study period. 50 patients had rupture of rotator cuff which was confirmed by ultrasound of involved shoulder. 50 were seen for non-cuff related complaints. We followed strict inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein concentration of patients with rotator cuff tendon tear were on higher side than control group. High-density lipoprotein trend showed being lower than control group. 21 of 50 (42%) had high cholesterol (TC > 240 mg/dl) than compared to 18 of 50 (36%) in control group. However, p=0.539 and showed no statistical significance between groups Conclusion: In Indian population, there was no correlation between hypercholesterolemia and rotator cuff tear which is statistically significant.

<span>La articulación del hombro es una unidad anatómica compleja enla que interactúan diferentes estructuras para conferirle una gran movilidad, al mismo tiempo que se mantiene su integridad y estabilidad. La patología de la articulación del hombro representa una causa frecuente de consulta a los servicios de emergencias y atención primaria. Ello supone un reto al que debe enfrentarse el personal médico, debido a su complejidad y las importantes relaciones anatómicas que presenta esta articulación. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una revisión de las principales consideraciones anatómicas de la articulación del hombro, así como algunas bases para su valoración clínica y finalmente un breve repaso de las patologías más frecuentes de dicha articulación, de manera que sirva de guía para el abordaje en la práctica clínica</span>

“…In terms of upper extremity functional assessment, there are a variety of traditional clinical outcome measures that are available, [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] but one of the most commonly used measure in multiple conditions may be the range of motion (ROM) evaluation because of its relative costeffectiveness and simplicity [12]. Currently, the primary measurement tool for upper extremity ROM is the manual goniometry; however, proper goniometric assessment is both time-consuming and effortintensive, with a caveat that reliability can vary depending on the experience of the evaluator.…”

Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of applying Kinect sensor-based 3D reachable workspace assessment in four cases of musculoskeletal shoulder dysfunction. Methods:Reachable workspace assessments were performed using a Kinect sensor on 4 individuals with various shoulder dysfunctions (shoulder impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, chronic shoulder dislocation, and post-surgical repair of supraspinatus tear). Upper extremity active range of motion was captured by the Kinect sensor and reconstructed to provide an intuitive graphical representation of each individual's 3D reachable workspace. For tracking each individual's progress during rehabilitation, both total and quadrant reachable workspace relative surface areas (RSA) were serially monitored over varying follow-up periods spanning 92 to 197 days. Results:The newly-developed Kinect sensor-based reachable workspace assessment was capable of measuring changes in range of motion (ROM) of individuals with musculoskeletal shoulder dysfunctions over time, reflecting improvement in 3 out of 4 presented cases. Conclusion:The demonstration cases indicate that the newly-developed sensor-based 3D reachable workspace analysis could be beneficial in clinical evaluation and during rehabilitation of various upper extremity musculoskeletal conditions. The 3D reachable workspace analysis provides a more intuitive and useful quantitative global upper extremity functional outcome measure and a means to better engage the patients through visualization of individualized reachable workspace to track their progress during rehabilitation.
