Abstract
Due to the complex coupling motion of shoulder mechanism, only a small amount of quantitative information is available in the existing literature, although various kinematic models of the shoulder complex have been proposed. This study focused on the specific motion coupling relationship between glenohumeral (GH) joint center displacement variable quantity relative to the thorax coordinate system and humeral elevation angle to describe the shoulder complex. The mechanism model of shoulder complex was proposed with an algorithm designed. Subsequently, twelve healthy subjects performed right arm raising, lowering, as well as raising and lowering (RAL) movements in sixteen elevation planes, and the motion information of the markers attached to the thorax, scapula, and humerus was captured by using Vicon motion capturing system. Then, experimental data was processed and the generalized GH joint with floating center was quantized. Simultaneously, different coupling characteristics were detected during humerus raising as well as lowering movements. The motion coupling relationships in different phases were acquired, and a modified kinematic model was established, with the description of overall motion characteristics of shoulder complex validated by comparing the results with a prior kinematic model from literature, showing enough accuracy for the design of upper limb rehabilitation robots.

Abstract
Due to the complex coupled motion of the shoulder mechanism, the design of the guiding movement rules of rehabilitation robots generally lacks specific motion coupling information between the glenohumeral (GH) joint center and humeral elevation angle. This study focuses on establishing a kinematic model of the shoulder complex obtained from a wearable detection system, which can describe the specific motion coupling relationship between the GH joint center displacement variable quantity relative to the thorax coordinate system and the humeral elevation angle. A kinematic model, which is a generalized GH joint with a floating center, was proposed to describe the coupling motion. Twelve healthy subjects wearing the designed detection system performed a right-arm elevation in the sagittal and coronal planes respectively, and the motion information of the GH joint during humeral elevation in the sagittal and coronal planes was detected and quantized, with the analytical formulas acquired based on the experimental data. The differences in GH joint motion during humeral elevation in the sagittal and coronal planes were also evaluated respectively, which also verified the effectiveness of the proposed kinematic model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glenohumeral offset (GHO) may change from the preoperative state after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), and has been identified as a factor that may affect shoulder mechanics, strength, and function. The primary objective was (1) to establish a reliable method of measuring GHO with standardized computed tomography (CT) imaging planes and (2) to determine whether an association exists between GHO and functional outcomes in TSA. METHODS Thirty-seven patients underwent TSA for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Preoperative and postoperative CT scans were reformatted along standardized measurement planes for the glenoid and humerus separately. Inter-rater and intrarater reliability was determined for 3 methods to measure humeral offset and 2 methods to measure glenoid offset. Univariate regression analysis was used to determine the association between GHO and functional outcomes including the Constant score and strength. RESULTS Of all methods tested, the highest preoperative and postoperative inter-rater reliability was r = 0.84 and r = 0.8, and r = 0.7 and r = 0.8 for humeral and glenoid offset, respectively. Intrarater reliability was >0.94. There was a mean increase of 4.3 mm (standard deviation, 4.6; range, -10.6 to 10.8) in combined GHO from preoperative to postoperative time points. No associations were observed between change in offset and functional or strength scores. DISCUSSION A reliable approach to measure prearthroplasty and postarthroplasty GHO with CT plane standardization has been described. A net increase in GHO was observed after TSA. No associations were found between change in offset after TSA and functional scores or strength up to 2 years postoperatively.

Effect of various upper limb multibody models on soft tissue artefact correction: A case study. J Biomech 2017; 62:102-109.

Abstract
Soft tissue artefacts (STA) introduce errors in joint kinematics when using cutaneous markers, especially on the scapula. Both segmental optimisation and multibody kinematics optimisation (MKO) algorithms have been developed to improve kinematics estimates. MKO based on a chain model with joint constraints avoids apparent joint dislocation but is sensitive to the biofidelity of chosen joint constraints. Since no recommendation exists for the scapula, our objective was to determine the best models to accurately estimate its kinematics. One participant was equipped with skin markers and with an intracortical pin screwed in the scapula. Segmental optimisation and MKO for 24-chain models (including four variations of the scapulothoracic joint) were compared against the pin-derived kinematics using root mean square error (RMSE) on Cardan angles. Segmental optimisation led to an accurate scapula kinematics (1.1°≤RMSE≤3.3°) even for high arm elevation angles. When MKO was applied, no clinically significant difference was found between the different scapulothoracic models (0.9°≤RMSE≤4.1°) except when a free scapulothoracic joint was modelled (1.9°≤RMSE≤9.6°). To conclude, using MKO as a STA correction method was not more accurate than segmental optimisation for estimating scapula kinematics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been shown that anatomical reconstruction is an important step in achieving good function after shoulder arthroplasty. It is essential to reconstruct the distance between the coracoid process and greater tubercle as this relates to the moment arm of the deltoid and rotator cuff muscles. This study evaluated the reliability of measurement of the lateral humeral offset (LHO) on plain radiographs and on computed tomography (CT). METHODS Four independent observers performed measurements of LHO on radiographs and CT from 26 patients awaiting shoulder reconstruction. The interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility were assessed. RESULTS Interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility of LHO in axial CT scans were excellent. Plain radiography showed fair to excellent interobserver reliability and variable intraobserver reproducibility. CONCLUSION CT is a reliable tool to measure LHO supporting its use in preoperative planning. When AP radiography is used for preoperative planning the examiner should be aware of its limitations and standardisation protocols should be considered.

Abstract
This manuscript presents a new subject-specific musculoskeletal dynamic modeling approach that integrates high-accuracy dynamic stereo-radiography (DSX) joint kinematics and surface-based full-body motion data. We illustrate this approach by building a model in OpenSim for a patient who participated in a meniscus transplantation efficacy study, incorporating DSX data of the tibiofemoral joint kinematics. We compared this DSX-incorporated (DSXI) model to a default OpenSim model built using surface-measured data alone. The architectures and parameters of the two models were identical, while the differences in (time-averaged) tibiofemoral kinematics were of the order of magnitude of 10° in rotation and 10mm in translation. Model-predicted tibiofemoral compressive forces and knee muscle activations were compared against literature data acquired from instrumented total knee replacement components (Fregly et al., 2012) and the patient's EMG recording. The comparison demonstrated that the incorporation of DSX data improves the veracity of musculoskeletal dynamic modeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiographic imaging is the follow-up imaging modality most widely used for patients who have undergone total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). However, its accuracy of measurement of component position has not been validated against a gold standard in a clinical series. METHODS Thirty-two x-ray images and computed tomography scans were taken within 1 month of each other in patients who had undergone TSA with an all-polyethylene glenoid component. The humeral glenoid alignment in the coronal superior-inferior (SI) plane (HGA-SI), humeral glenoid alignment in the axial anterior-posterior (AP) plane (HGA-AP), and humeral scapular alignment in the axial plane (HSA-AP) were measured with 21 pairs of images, and glenoid component retroversion was measured with all 32 pairs. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated for HGA-SI, HGA-AP, HSA-AP, and version, and accuracy analysis criteria of the radiographs were assessed using predetermined criterion. RESULTS We found fair-moderate agreement between x-ray images and CT scans for HGA-SI (ICC = 0.42) and version (ICC = 0.69), but poor agreement for HGA-AP (ICC = 0.04) and HSA-AP (ICC = 0.38). An average difference of overestimating HGA-SI by 0.06% ± 7.7%, with a precision 95% confidence interval of 7.6%, and overestimating version by -4.2° ± 5.1°, with a precision 95% confidence interval of 9.9°, was found. CONCLUSION This validation study has defined the ability and limitation for these measurements using high-quality axillary and AP radiographs.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) geometric model for predicting muscle forces in the shoulder complex is proposed. The model was applied throughout the range of arm elevation in the scapular plan. In vitro testing has been performed on 13 cadaveric shoulders. The objectives were to determine homogeneous values of physiological parameters of shoulder muscles and to locate sites of muscular attachment to any bone of the shoulder complex. Muscular fiber lengths, lengths of contractile element (CE), and muscle volumes were measured, corresponding physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) were calculated, and force/length muscle relations were found. An in vivo biplanar radiography was performed on five volunteers. The photogrammetric reconstruction of bone axes and landmarks were coupled with a geometric modeling of bones and muscle sites of attachment. Muscular paths were drawn and changes in lengths during movement have been estimated. Directions of muscle forces are the same as that of muscular path at the point of attachment to bone. Magnitudes of muscular forces were found from muscle lengths coupled with force/length relations. Passive forces were directly determined contrary to active muscle forces. A resulting active muscle force is calculated from balancing weight and passive forces at each articular center. Active muscle forces were calculated by distributing the resulting force among active muscles based on the muscular PCSA values.

Accessing 3D Location of Standing Pelvis: Relative Position of Sacral Plateau and Acetabular Cavities versus Pelvis. Radiol Res Pract 2012; 2012:685497.

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to access to pelvis position and morphology in standing posture and to determine the relative locations of their articular surfaces. This is obtained from coupling biplanar radiography and bone modeling. The technique involves different successive steps. Punctual landmarks are first reconstructed, in space, from their projected images, identified on two orthogonal standing X-rays. Geometric models, of global pelvis and articular surfaces, are determined from punctual landmarks. The global pelvis is represented as a triangle of summits: the two femoral head centers and the sacral plateau center. The two acetabular cavities are modeled as hemispheres. The anterior sacral plateau edge is represented by an hemi-ellipsis. The modeled articular surfaces are projected on each X-ray. Their optimal location is obtained when the projected contours of their models best fit real outlines identified from landmark images. Linear and angular parameters characterizing the position of global pelvis and articular surfaces are calculated from the corresponding sets of axis. Relative positions of sacral plateau, and acetabular cavities, are then calculated. Two hundred standing pelvis, of subjects and scoliotic patients, have been studied. Examples are presented. They focus upon pelvis orientations, relative positions of articular surfaces, and pelvis asymmetries.

Abstract
In biomechanics, the knowledge of accurate location of a joint center is essential because equilibration of the external loads and muscular forces about the joint is performed about this specific point. This paper focuses on the location of centers of gleno-humeral joint and scapulo-thoracic joint in a subject moving their arm in the scapular plane with a magnitude of 120°. Biplanar radiography with successive exposures has been used locating anatomical axes of bones. Geometric models of bones were defined allowing access to bone morphology by superposing model projections onto X-ray imaged bone contours. Functional models were used so as to represent the behavior in motion of shoulder joints. These techniques allowed us to access to results describing the linear and angular relative displacements of the shoulder bones between two different postures. The gleno-humeral and scapulo-thoracic finite joint centers (F H and F S ) are first defined through the location of the corresponding helical axis of motion (HAM) moving the joint from positions occupied in initial and final postures. The gleno-humeral and scapulo-thoracic mean joint centers (M H and M S ) are then calculated using a new technique, which defines that each joint center has the point having the smallest migrations while moving continuously from initial to final postures. This allows for the analysis of the linear and angular clearances, which affect joint center migration. The whole continuous movement has been parsed into several steps to test the stability of the mean joint center throughout the motion.

Abstract
Knowledge of three-dimensional skeletal kinematics during functional activities such as walking, is required for accurate modelling of joint motion and loading, and is important in identifying the effects of injury and disease. For example, accurate measurement of joint kinematics is essential in understanding the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and its symptoms and for developing strategies to alleviate joint pain. Bi-plane X-ray fluoroscopy has the capacity to accurately and non-invasively measure human joint motion in vivo. Joint kinematics obtained using bi-plane X-ray fluoroscopy will aid in the development of more complex musculoskeletal models, which may be used to assess joint function and disease and plan surgical interventions and post-operative rehabilitation strategies. At present, however, commercial C-arm systems constrain the motion of the subject within the imaging field of view, thus precluding recording of motions such as overground gait. These fluoroscopy systems also operate at low frame rates and therefore cannot accurately capture high-speed joint motion during tasks such as running and throwing. In the future, bi-plane fluoroscopy systems may include computer-controlled tracking for the measurement of joint kinematics over entire cycles of overground gait without constraining motion of the subject. High-speed cameras will facilitate measurement of high-impulse joint motions, and computationally efficient pose-estimation software may provide a fast and fully automated process for quantification of natural joint motion.

Abstract
There is a large body of literature supporting the importance of restoring sagittal balance to the spine. The main message is this: regardless of the specific surgical strategy and treatment or pathology, rebalancing results in a positive patient outcome. Complex deformity patients need to be evaluated with attention to the global balance and the operative planning and strategy must be adapted accordingly. Spinal fusions are not always considered within the framework of sagittal balance. Unsuccessful outcome including continued pain, adjacent level disease, accelerated degenerative changes of the spine, pseudarthrosis and hip and knee changes, may then ensue. Certainly, those patients need to be re-evaluated with attention to the global balance of the spine. The reason for the outcome may be sagittal imbalance and osteotomy techniques as well as fusion extension may be needed. The postoperative outcome can only be improved when the sagittal balance is already considered in the planning and treatment strategy during initial correction surgery. Concerning sagittal balance a paradigm shift seems to occur.

Abstract
The 3D analyses of spinal shapes and postural features give a great number of data. The global patient posture includes his pelvic morphology and tilting, and his pelvic and spinal balance. In some scoliotic spines, the spinal curve belongs to a unique plane. In other scoliotic patients, the spinal curve shows several plane regions. The spinal structures are modeled from parameters locating the structural planes and by values of maximum curvatures. Some parameters have been introduced for describing the postural patterns and the spinal deformities. For each tested patient, each major parameter has been characterized by an index of class.

Abstract
In this paper, we present an inverse kinematics method to determining human shoulder joint motion coupling relationship based on experimental data in the literature. This work focuses on transferring Euler-angle-based coupling equations into a relationship based on the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) method. We use analytical inverse kinematics to achieve the transferring. For a specific posture, we can choose points on clavicle, scapula, and humerus and represent the end-effector positions based on Euler angles or DH method. For both Euler and DH systems, the end-effectors have the same Cartesian positions. Solving these equations related to end-effector positions yields DH joint angles for that posture. The new joint motion coupling relationship is obtained by polynomial and cosine fitting of the DH joint angles for all different postures.

Abstract
The radiographic photogrammetry is applied, for locating anatomical landmarks in space, from their two projected images. The goal of this paper is to define a personalized geometric model of bones, based uniquely on photogrammetric reconstructions. The personalized models of bones are obtained from two successive steps: their functional frameworks are first determined experimentally, then, the 3D bone representation results from modeling techniques. Each bone functional framework is issued from direct measurements upon two radiographic images. These images may be obtained using either perpendicular (spine and sacrum) or oblique incidences (pelvis and lower limb). Frameworks link together their functional axes and punctual landmarks. Each global bone volume is decomposed in several elementary components. Each volumic component is represented by simple geometric shapes. Volumic shapes are articulated to the patient's bone structure. The volumic personalization is obtained by best fitting the geometric model projections to their real images, using adjustable articulations. Examples are presented to illustrating the technique of personalization of bone volumes, directly issued from the treatment of only two radiographic images. The chosen techniques for treating data are then discussed. The 3D representation of bones completes, for clinical users, the information brought by radiographic images.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe 3-dimensional scapular motion during the activities of daily living (ADL) and the full range of arm motion, and to suggest a standardized method for evaluating scapular mobility. Eight healthy subjects between the ages of 25-40, with no prior history of shoulder pathology or surgery for the past 12 months, were recruited for this study. Touching 8 predetermined landmarks on the head and the trunk was used to simulate ADL. Touching the contralateral ear and contralateral shoulder resulted in the maximum scapular protraction 46 degrees (8 degrees) and 48 degrees (8 degrees), respectively, and the maximum degrees of the scapular anterior tilt, -11 degrees (4 degrees) and -11 degrees (5 degrees), respectively. Asking patients to reach to the back of the neck, and the contralateral shoulder, the clinician can evaluate the overall scapular mobility in all directions. A protocol controlling the performance variability during ADL tasks was suggested to improve the clinical evaluation of the shoulder joint complex. Findings of this study can guide clinicians to identify specific tasks which may relate to particular shoulder girdle dysfunction.

Abstract
Despite the essential role played by the scapula in shoulder function, current concepts in shoulder training and treatment regularly neglect its contribution. The 'scapular dyskinesis' is an alteration of the normal scapular kinematics as part of scapulohumeral rhythm, which has been shown to be a nonspecific response to a host of proximal and distal shoulder injuries. The dyskinesis can react in many ways with shoulder motion and function to increase the dysfunction. Thoracic kyphosis, acromio-clavicular joint disorders, subacromial or internal impingement, instability or labral pathology can alter scapular kinematics. Indeed, alteration of scapular stabilizing muscle activation, inflexibility of the muscles and capsule-ligamentous complex around the shoulder may affect the resting position and motion of the scapula. Given the interest in the scapular positioning and patterns of motion, this article aims to give a detailed overview of the literature focusing on the role of the scapula within the shoulder complex through the sports context. Such an examination of the role of the scapula requires the description of the normal pattern of scapula motion during shoulder movement; this also implies the study of possible scapular adaptations with sports practice and scapular dyskinesis concomitant to fatigue, impingement and instability. Different methods of scapular positioning evaluation are gathered from the literature in order to offer to the therapist the possibility of detecting scapular asymmetries through clinical examinations. Furthermore, current concepts of rehabilitation dealing with relieving symptoms associated with inflexibility, weakness or activation imbalance of the muscles are described. Repeating clinical assessments throughout the rehabilitation process highlights improvements and allows the therapist to actualize rationally his or her intervention. The return to the field must be accompanied by a transitory phase, which is conducive to integrating new instructions during sports gestures. On the basis of the possible scapular disturbance entailed in sports practice, a preventive approach that could be incorporated into training management is encouraged.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of a radiographic model-based tracking technique that measures the three-dimensional in vivo motion of the tibio-femoral joint during running. Tantalum beads were implanted into the femur and tibia of three subjects and computed tomography (CT) scans were acquired after bead implantation. The subjects ran 2.5m/s on a treadmill positioned within a biplane radiographic system while images were acquired at 250 frames per second. Three-dimensional implanted bead locations were determined and used as a "gold standard" to measure the accuracy of the model-based tracking. The model-based tracking technique optimized the correlation between the radiographs acquired via the biplane X-ray system and digitally reconstructed radiographs created from the volume-rendered CT model. Accuracy was defined in terms of measurement system bias, precision and root-mean-squared (rms) error. Results were reported in terms of individual bone tracking and in terms of clinically relevant tibio-femoral joint translations and rotations (joint kinematics). Accuracy for joint kinematics was as follows: model-based tracking measured static joint orientation with a precision of 0.2 degrees or better, and static joint position with a precision of 0.2mm or better. Model-based tracking precision for dynamic joint rotation was 0.9+/-0.3 degrees , 0.6+/-0.3 degrees , and 0.3+/-0.1 degrees for flexion-extension, external-internal rotation, and ab-adduction, respectively. Model-based tracking precision when measuring dynamic joint translation was 0.3+/-0.1mm, 0.4+/-0.2mm, and 0.7+/-0.2mm in the medial-lateral, proximal-distal, and anterior-posterior direction, respectively. The combination of high-speed biplane radiography and volumetric model-based tracking achieves excellent accuracy during in vivo, dynamic knee motion without the necessity for invasive bead implantation.

Abstract
The 3D reconstruction of the spine in upright posture can be obtained by bi-planar radiographic methods, developed since the 1970s. The principle is to identify 4-25 anatomical landmarks per vertebrae and per images. This identification time is hardly manageable in clinical practice. A semi-automated method is used: 3D standard vertebral models are positioned along with a 3D curve (identified all the way through the vertebral bodies). The silhouettes of the models of C7 and L5 vertebrae are first adjusted and the positions of the other vertebrae are interpolated and optimised. The inter- and intra-operator variabilities and the errors between the semi-automated method and the manual identification of six anatomical landmarks per vertebra are evaluated on 20 pairs of X-ray images of subjects with different spinal deformities. The identification time for the semi-automated method is 5 min. For scolitic subjects, the precision is under 2.2 degrees and the accuracy is under 3.2 degrees for all lateral, sagittal and axial rotations.
