Internship in shoulder biomechanics
Rotator cuff tears are a common shoulder injury. Some people only have a few symptoms, so that a tear cannot be diagnosed in some cases. This can lead to consequential damage and wear, e.g. tendon injuries or osteoarthritis. We therefore want to find out what influence changes in the shape of the shoulder bones have on shoulder biomechanics during activities of daily living. In this study, subjects with shoulder tendon injuries and control subjects are included and examined in the Laboratory for Functional Biomechanics at the University Hospital Basel using questionnaires, arm movement analysis, muscle strength measurements and imaging techniques.
