In this paper, we analyzed the contraction patterns of active elbow muscles during isometric, concentric and eccentric contraction. The analysis parameters consist of frequency domain parameters (mean frequency, median frequency, peak frequency, peak power, skewness, kurtosis) and time domain paraseters (zero crossing, positive maxima, integrated EMG). The results of this study were as follows; The BR/BB of isometric contraction appeared to be Venter as the elbow joint was more extended. The BR /BB during concentric and eccentric contraction tended to increase with more extension of the elbow joint angle, but there was no significant difference between concentric and eccentric contraction. Further, the EMG power spectrum due to the type of contraction were different betwen eccentric and concentric contraction. According to the results, it was found that the activation pattern in elbow flexor muscles was different during three different muscle contraction pattern. Therefore, elbow flexor muscles should not be considered a single functioning unit. Especially, at the time domain analysis, IEMG is a dominant parameter for analysis of activation patterns, and the skewness kurtosis can be useful parameters in functional recognition for prosthesis control purpose.

Rupture of the pectoralis major muscle typically occurs in the young, active male. Acute management of these injuries is recommended; however, what if the patient presents with a chronic tear of the pectoralis major? Physical exams and magnetic resonance imaging can help identify the injury and guide the physician with a plan for management. Nonoperative management is feasible, but is recommended for elderly, low-demand patients whose functional goals are minimal. Repair of chronic tears should be reserved for younger, healthier patients with high functional demands. Although operative management provides better functional outcomes, operative treatment of chronic pectoralis tears can be challenging. Tendon retraction, poor tendinous substance and quality of tissue, muscle atrophy, scar formation, and altered anatomy make direct repairs complicated, often necessitating auto- or allograft use. We review the various graft options and fixation methods that can be used when treating patients with chronic pectoralis major tears.

The purpose of this study was to estimate force of muscles that constituted the rotator cuff during elevation motion in scapula plane, using a skeletal muscle model and quantitatively evaluate rotator cuff function in vivo. A healthy volunteer was measured with an open MR and CT system at elevation positions in scapula plane (MR: $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $120^{\circ}$, $150^{\circ}$, CT: $0^{\circ}$). After reconstruction three-dimensional MRI-based and CT-based bone surface models, matched each models with registration technique. Then supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, teres minor, deltoid (anterior, middle, posterior portions) represented as plural lines. These lines were proportional to physiologic cross-sectional area (PCSA) and defined straight line to bind origin and insertion. Force of supraspinatus became greatest at $59^{\circ}$ of elevation. Subsequently force of deltoid middle portion became greatest at $89^{\circ}$ of elevation. Infraspinatus and subscapularis were active at the meantime. In addition, supraspinatus was active during elevation. These results resembled clinical finding and were proved force couples that contribute to mobility and stability of shoulder complex.

Thirty normal adults were tested to measure the electrical activity of the anterior (AD), middle (MD), and posterior portion (PD) of the deltoid muscle and sternal portion of the pectoralis major muscle (PM) during the performance of four upper extremity PNF diagonal patterns with elbow flexion angle in $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$. The PNF patterns in which these muscles function optimally have been theoretically advanced by Kabat and further described by Knott and Voss. They theorize that the MD should be most active with shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation (D2F); the PD with shoulder extension, abduction, and internal rotation (D1E); the AD with shoulder flexion, adduction, and external rotation (D1F); and the PM with shoulder extension, adduction and internal rotation (D2E). The patterns were performed through range of motion, with an isometric contraction performed in the shortened range. When the EMG activity of AD, MD, PD and PM in its optimal patterns was measured, it does not have significant difference among fixed elbow flexion angle $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$ (p>.05). In addition, suggestions were made for study of patients who exhibit imbalance of muscle strength and have muscle weakness.

목적: 견관절 역행성 인공관절 치환술의 합병증을 이해하고 이에 대한 최신의 예방 및 치료 방법을 고찰하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. 대상 및 방법: 기존의 구속형 인공관절 기구 (구-소켓 관절 혹은 역행성 구형 관절 디자인)는 견갑골의 외측에 회전 중심이 유지되어 제한된 관절 운동과 관절와 기구에 발생한 과도한 회전력으로 인해 조기 해리를 유발하여 실패해왔다. Grammont 역행성 인공관절 기구는 삼각근이 작용하는 새로운 생역학적 환경을 도입하여 회전근개 결손을 보상할 수 있도록 해준다. 결과: 임상적 경험이 생역학 개념에 부응하면 역행성 인공관절은 회전근 개 결손 견관절 환자에서 $90^{\circ}$이상의 능동적 거상을 회복하게 한다. 그러나 외회전은 특히 소원근 지방침윤 내지 결손이 있는 환자들에서는 종종 제한이 남는다. 내회전 역시 역행성 인공관절 후에는 거의 회복되지 않는다. 삼각근에 충분한 긴장을 회복하지 못하면 인공관절 불안성이 초래된다. 결론: 인공관절 치환술 후 재수술에서 그 결과는 예측가능성이 떨어지고, 합병증 및 재치환술 비율이 더 높음을 인지해야만 한다. 합병증을 인지하고 예방하기 위해서는 명확한 정의와 평가 지침을 포함한 표준화된 감시 장치가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
