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).
