Table 3. Difference of angles and pain in Subjects without (n = 139) and with (n = 61) rotator cuff tear, dominant side.

Variable Mean difference (95% CI)
Anteversion -48.7 (-61.7;-35.6)
Retroversion -7.7 (-9.7;-5.6)
Abduction -61.1 (-75.2;-47.1)
Adduction -7.8 (-9.8;-5.7)
External rotation (ERO) -10.5 (-15.3;-5.8)
Internal rotation (IRO) -16.5 (-22.4;-10.5)
ERO in 90° Abduction -36.4 (-46.2;-26.5)
IRO in 90° Abduction -37.3 (-47.1;-27.6)
Pain score(Constant Score) 7.7 (6.6;8.9)

CI, Confidence Interval. Spearman‘s rank correlation between angles and pain score (Constant score) ranged from -0.53 to -0.69. PG and CG with a rotator cuff tear and pain had less range of motion (high negative correlation).
