Brief Summary

Limited range-of-motion (ROM) is a common problem after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The occurrence and magnitude depend on both surgical and patient-related factors. The most important surgical factor is the occurrence of impingement, which implicates collision between the humeral implant or bone and the scapula, limiting further motion. Patient-related factors such as scapula geometry and muscle function and activation also play an important role. Surgeons have to account for these factors when planning and implanting a RSA. Software models can support the surgeon during preoperative planning by using imaging data to simulate the ROM of a patient's shoulder after RSA. These software models allow for adaptation of the implant position during preoperative planning and, by this optimize the postoperative ROM. However, the models currently developed are limited in terms of ROM simulation and the factors the models take into account.

Interventions

Clinical Data: Registration of patient identity, sex and birth year, Body Mass Index, generic score EQ-5D-3L, Tampa Schaal voor kinesofobia and shoulder specific score like Constant Score, PROMS, ADLER, SST and postoperative ROM. Imaging Data: A preoperative and postoperative CT scan and 1-year postoperative radiograph (all three part of standard clinical practice) will be obtained. This data is used to extract the bone geometries and implant position. Movement Analysis: The subject should stand still followed by different motion tasks in the gait lab with collection of shoulder girdle kinematics and kinetics using a 14-camera VICON System. Stereo Radiographic EOS Measurements: Every subject included in the study will undergo a stereo radiographic EOS exam while quite standing with their arm in various positions (van Andel et al., 2008) . ROM simulation: With the developed ROM software, we will simulate the ROM of the 2 patient groups based on the available CT scan data.
