s a potentially treatable, predisposing factor to degenerative joint disease of the shoulder and rotator cuff tear. Study presents a human cadaveric model that simulates in vivo conditions and permits quantitative evaluation of surgical repair techniques that lead to improvements in treatment after shoulder dislocation.

Gait patterns in young adults from Kuwait and Scandinavia, pg 283
Young Kuwaiti men and women were asked to walk at slow, medium, and fast self-selected walking speeds over a special mat that measured the position and time of each footfall. Study collected basic gait data to determine how they compared to data from a Swedish study. Investigators found differences in walking patterns of Kuwaiti and Swedish subjects suggesting that a need exists to further investigate differences between ethnically and geographically different populations to establish more encompassing gait reference data.
