| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Despite a high prevalence of rotator cuff impingements or tears in the elderly population, little research has focused on how this injured population adapts to perform tasks of daily living. The current study investigated the influence of rotator cuff impingements in this population on kinematics and shoulder loading differences, while completing activities of daily living. METHODS: Upper limb and trunk movement was measured for thirteen asymptomatic elderly and ten elderly subjects with rotator cuff impingements during five range of motion tasks and six activities of daily living. Thoracohumeral kinematics was derived from this data. FINDINGS: Symptomatic populations showed significantly decreased ranges of flexion/extension, abduction and internal and external rotation when compared to the asymptomatic population. The asymptomatic population had a 44% larger range of angle of elevation than the symptomatic population. Task was found to be a main effect for most variables examined including angle of elevation. Participants with impingements had significantly lower ranges of humeral rotations during the tasks with ranges of 40° (SD 40°) and 51° (SD 36°) respectively. Perineal care, hair-combing and reaching tasks were the most demanding in terms of the required range of motion. The reaching tasks resulted in the highest shoulder moment. INTERPRETATION: Developing adaptations for perineal care, hair-combing and reaching tasks should be prioritized when working with persons with rotator cuff impingements, as these tasks demanded the largest ranges of motion while producing high shoulder moments. Substantial differences existed between the experimental groups for a number of kinematic measures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
