Reaching Motion During Functional Activities
Sponsor: University Hospital, Ghent
Summary
Taking and moving objects is essential. When this becomes difficult, it affects daily functioning. This study aims to determine movement patterns, at the level of the shoulder, during different functional movements in elderly people aged 60 years and older. Movement patterns of people without shoulder problems and patients with a reverse shoulder prosthesis will be compared. These insights can contribute to improving functional rehabilitation in patients with a reverse shoulder prosthesis (RSA).
