Project

Why do asymptomatic rotator cuff tears become painful? - Effect of biomechanical, psychosocial and pain related factors

Aim 1 is to determine if biomechanical and psychosocial factors differ between three groups: symptomatic rotator cuff (RC) tear, asymptomatic RC-tear, and healthy controls without RC-tear. Comparing those three groups is necessary in order to attribute possible differences to the presence of symptoms or the presence of a tear. Aim 2 is to determine risk factors for developing symptomatic RC-tears.
