AAOS 2022 - Variation in Scapulohumeral Rhythm of Pathologic Shoulders

Using Dynamic Digital Radiography to Measure Variation in Scapulohumeral Rhythm of Pathologic Shoulders.

Patients with various shoulder pathologies suffer from a diminished range of motion and scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR), defined as the ratio of the respective contributions of glenohumeral and scapulothoracic motion to arm elevation. While previously challenging to measure SHR in a clinical setting, a novel technique known as Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) provides a safe and cost-effective method to evaluate aberrancies in motion directly. This study aimed to measure the SHR of pathologic shoulders using DDR.

AAOS 2022 - Scapulohumeral Rhythm of Shoulders with adhesive Capsulitis

Dynamic Digital Radiography to Measure Variations in Scapulohumeral Rhythm of Shoulders with Adhesive Capsulitis.

Scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR), defined as the ratio of glenohumeral (GH) and scapulothoracic (ST) motion during arm elevation, is an important but not well-defined parameter in assessing shoulder pathology. Particularly in adhesive capsulitis, where patients have known diminished GH motion, a quantitative assessment of SHR has profound implications. Currently, adhesive capsulitis is a clinical diagnosis, and with no radiographic or quantitative standard of diagnosis, SHR has the potential to become the reference standard. Unfortunately, it has been previously difficult to measure SHR in a clinical setting without purchasing specialized and expensive equipment in a 3-dimensional motion analysis laboratory. The purpose of this study was to measure the SHR of patients with adhesive capsulitis compared to normal controls using a novel, safe, and cost-effective imaging technique known as Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR).

Working Smarter, Not Harder, in Radiology Imaging

Studies show that radiologists suffer from burnout more than most other medical professionals, in part due to long hours, complex cases and inefficiencies in radiology workflows. And the pressures facing this group of professionals are expected to worsen in the next decade. This may unfortunately be contributing to a shortage in the field, and by 2033, there could be a shortfall of nearly 42,000 medical imaging professionals in the United States.
