  • Simulating dynamic changes in joint load magnitude and vector during arm abduction.

    • Main Results:

    • The novel method allows for more realistic load magnitudes and vectors compared to current practices.
    • The setup can simulate the changing joint load during arm abduction.
    • This provides a more accurate representation of in vivo conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method offers a more realistic approach to mechanical testing of reverse shoulder implants.
    • This improved testing protocol can lead to better assessment of implant stability.
    • It is a significant step towards reducing glenoid component loosening failures.
