A randomised clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of physiotherapy after rotator cuff repairKimberley Hayes
St George Hospital, University of New South Wales, Australia
Aust J Physiother 50:77-83. 2004..On the basis of these results, outcomes for subjects allocated to individualised physiotherapy treatment after rotator cuff repair are no better than for subjects allocated to a standardised home exercise regime...- Shoulder muscle recruitment patterns during commonly used rotator cuff exercises: an electromyographic studyAlanna Dark

Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
J Shoulder Elbow Surg 15:311-4. 2006..HBB ROM demonstrated only a low to moderate correlation with active shoulder IR. Active HBB ROM is not an accurate method of measuring active shoulder IR in patients with shoulder pain... - The shoulder distraction force in cricket fast bowlingMax C Stuelcken
Discipline of Exercise and Sport Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, Lidcombe, NSW, Australia
J Appl Biomech 26:373-7. 2010..Therefore, the relative importance of the peak shoulder distraction force in the fast bowling action for the development of shoulder pain in female cricket fast bowlers warrants further investigation... - Shoulder strength and range of motion in elite female cricket fast bowlers with and without a history of shoulder painMax C Stuelcken

Discipline of Biomedical Science, School of Medical Sciences, Sydney Medical School, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Clin Anat 24:619-26. 2011..Posterior rotator cuff muscles appear to be counterbalancing anterior translational forces produced during flexion and it would appear that supraspinatus is one of the muscles that consistently "initiates" flexion... - Does passive mobilization of shoulder region joints provide additional benefit over advice and exercise alone for people who have shoulder pain and minimal movement restriction? A randomized controlled trialRoss Yiasemides
Discipline of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Sydney Medical School, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
J Sci Med Sport 13:392-6. 2010..873), to be predictive of injury. Torsion in the dominant arm was not a significant throwing arm injury predictor. Thus non-dominant arm humeral torsion (the genetic contribution) was found to be the predictor of throwing arm injury... - Which is the optimal exercise to strengthen supraspinatus?Craig E Boettcher
1Discipline of Biomedical Science, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Sydney, Australia
Med Sci Sports Exerc 41:1979-83. 2009..The aim of this study was to simultaneously examine all exercises known to recruit supraspinatus at high levels and to compare the level of recruitment in supraspinatus, deltoid, and infraspinatus... - The 'empty can' and 'full can' tests do not selectively activate supraspinatusCraig E Boettcher
Discipline of Biomedical Science, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Sydney, Australia
J Sci Med Sport 12:435-9. 2009..Therefore, these tests should not be interpreted as definitive tests for the clinical diagnosis of supraspinatus pathology. They may, however, be beneficial during shoulder muscle strengthening programs... - Standard maximum isometric voluntary contraction tests for normalizing shoulder muscle EMGCraig E Boettcher
