Summary

The goal of this project was to simulate reverse shoulder prostheses (RSA) to evaluate the variability of several biomechanical factors and the impact on the range of motion. In particular, we were interested in evaluating the effect of glenoid lateralization, humeral inclination and critical shoulder angle (CSA). These computer-assisted simulations provided operating parameters which aimed to minimize the onset of articular conflicts and luxations.

In this project, Artanim was responsible for dynamically simulating reverse shoulder prostheses from kinematic data.
