Rotator cuff

Background and purpose: Repetitive overhead athletic activities and age can increase risk for shoulder pathologies to arise. The microfracture procedure has been used more recently for chondral defects of the glenoid and humeral head.

My mom booked me a doctors appointment with an orthopedic doctor, specializing

potential to create injuries to the glenoid labrum and can cause shoulder pain and dysfunction.1 Superior labral anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions can occur either in isolation or in conjuncture with a broad spectrum of other shoulder injuries, such as rotator cuff tears, glenohumeral instability, and isolated biceps tendon ruptures.1 The detection of SLAP lesions has developed with the improvements in diagnostic imaging, but physical examination tests remain nonspecific.1 Therefore, the purpose of this paper

The sheep is a suitable model because the rotator cuff tendons are similar in size to human which from a transitional standpoint allows for various suturing techniques to improve repairs. USDA approved, female Black Suffolk sheep (n=23) (Ovis aries; age, 10 to 12 mo; weight, 55 to 105 kg) were determined to be healthy by physical examination by a veterinarian at the University of Michigan’s Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine (ULAM). All sheep were housed in groups within approved large animal facilities

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a type of therapy used as a form of treatment for swallowing disorders (dysphagia). This method involves placing electrodes on one or several external sites on the anterior neck to which an electrical current is applied to peripheral tissue targets (Clark, Lazarus, Arvedson, Schooling, & Frymark, 2009, p 362). “it is hypothesized that such stimulation aims to improve function by strengthening the swallowing musculature or by stimulating the sensory pathways
