Advancing musculoskeletal shoulder modeling: reflecting glenohumeral translation with bony, ligamentous, and muscular stability constraints by Johanna Menze, Johanna Menze, Eleonora Croci, Eleonora Croci, Michael Skipper Andersen, Hanspeter Hess, Hanspeter Hess, Morten Enemark Lund, Enrico De Pieri, Enrico De Pieri, Matthias A. Zumstein, Stephen J. Ferguson, Andreas Marc Müller, Annegret Mündermann, Annegret Mündermann, Annegret Mündermann, Kate Gerber, Kate Gerber

“…FDK model simulations in abduction with no additional handheld weight revealed greater variations in glenohumeral translations in shoulders with full RC tear. Compressive joint forces and muscle forces were higher in the FDK model than in the default shoulder model, particularly in the infraspinatus in the healthy model and in the deltoid in the full RC tear model.DiscussionDistinct differences in muscle and joint forces between the FDK and the default shoulder models confirm that unconstrained translational degrees of freedom of the GH joint are important to advance knowledge of the biomechanical principles of the shoulder. …”

Deflection Encounters: Motivational Interviewing and Maximal Minutes by Michael D. Clark

“…Deflection relies on law enforcement and a host of community responders to be the referral source to community-based drug treatment and mental health services prior to any potential crises or arrest. Deflection differs from the common term of diversion as it deflects those needing substance use or mental health services without an arrest and legal system processing. …”
