Abstract:Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) increases deltoid muscle fiber recruitment and tension to compensate for deficient rotator cuff activity; however, it is unclear whether the anterior or middle deltoid becomes dominant and how the muscle activation profile changes postoperatively. Using minimally invasive electromyography, this study evaluated the activity of the deltoid and surrounding muscles during shoulder motion to assess muscle activation changes post-RSA. Methods: In this observatio… Show more
