Shoulder kinematics and muscle activity following latissimus dorsi transfer for massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in shoulders with pseudoparalysis

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the thoracohumeral (TH) and glenohumeral (GH) motion with muscle activity after latissimus dorsi transfer (LDT) in a shoulder with a massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear (MIRT) and pseudoparalysis compared with the asymptomatic contralateral shoulder (ACS). Methods: We...
