DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2020.105091
Abstract: BACKGROUND Numerous studies have reported an association between rotator cuff injury and two-dimensional measures of scapular morphology. However, the mechanical underpinnings explaining how these shape features affect glenohumeral joint function and lead to injury are… read more here.
