The shoulder research group completed a study working on kinematics of the glenohumeral joint before and after Bankart repair and is in process of developing a shoulder arthrometer (measuring/recording joint movement) to quantify shoulder laxity intraoperatively. The group is evaluating techniques to measure three-dimensional strain of both macro and microscopic levels, using innovative imaging techniques. |
