How to Heal Fibromyalgia - When Pain is Criminal
Average proximal humeral migration in symptomatic individuals was significantly greater than in those who did not suffer from pain (migration: 0.26 + 1.6 mm vs -0.28 + 1.3 mm) For both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, proximal humeral migration was significantly greater in those shoulders whose tears involved the infraspinatus (either alone or in conjunction with the supraspinatus). Interestingly, infraspinatus involvement was significantly more frequent in the symptomatic group. Symptomatic rotator cuff tears with an area > 175mm-squared significantly correlated with altered glenohumeral mechanics (proximal migration) While pain significantly correlated with migration and tear area in full-thickness tears > 175mm-squared, this relationship was negated upon multivariate analysis (where tear area was the most significant predictor of proximal migration). Maman et al. evaluated the outcomes of individuals with rotator cuff tears who were managed non-operatively. Evaluat...
