The area of glenoid asymmetry identified as important contribution to shoulder strength during pushing and pulling in coronal plane

Article Abstract:

The area of glenoid asymmetry is a geometric parameter that is a good indicator of shoulder strength and helps in understanding the mechanisms of musculoskeletal disorders. A study of one-handed abduction and adduction in a coronal plane was conducted providing better biomechanical basis for joint modeling and considering articular geometry during designing of workplaces.
