A comparison of glenohumeral joint translation between young and older asymptomatic adults using ultrasonography: a secondary analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Rotator cuff contraction limits glenohumeral joint translation in a direction-specific manner in both young and older participants. However, younger age is associated with increased passive translation but greater ability to reduce glenohumeral joint translation with rotator cuff muscle contraction. Age-related changes should be considered when assessing and treating glenohumeral joint stability. PMID: 30704320 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
