Description

We examined the shoulder function of the 458 aged (50-80) and 1264 children (6-12) who had no complaint about their shoulders. The purpose of this study is to determine the normal limit of ROM, muscle power and instability for criteria of shoulder functions. Holding the dumbbell in 90° elevation, serial elevation of the shoulder, and ROM were evaluated in each age group. In addition, inferior instability of the shoulders were examined in children. Shoulder function of the aged seemed to be dependent on personality rather than their ages. All the children have had full ROM, but muscle power was influenced by their age. 4.7% of children has inferior instability of the shoulder.
