Figure 1

Schematic illustration shows the experimental setup. A scapula is fixed to the custom-designed wooden jig. A 6-degrees-of-freedom 3SPACE FASTRAK electromagnetic tracking device is used to measure the range of motion of the glenohumeral joint. The torque gauge is attached to the distal end of the intramedullary acrylic rod to add rotational torque to the humeral head. A carbon rod has been inserted to the middle of the humerus, perpendicular to the humeral shaft, to be used as a reference to indicate the rotational angle.
