We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

A Biomechanical Study of Work-Related Shoulder Disorder
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has identified a clear epidemiological link between repetitive arm motion and shoulder disorders in the workplace, there are few scientific data available regarding the biomechanics of this connection. Shoulder overuse injuries may initially manifest as diffuse shoulder pain, however, the vast majority reflect pathology of the rotator cuff tendons in the subacromial space. The long-term goal of our research agenda is to identify the important biomechanical mechanisms associated with work related rotator cuff injuries and subsequently develop intervention and prevention strategies that address these mechanisms. The objective of this application is to identify the link between the integrity of the rotator cuff mechanism and its loading environment. To accomplish this objective, we have developed three specific aims. Our first specific aim is to establish the in-vivo kinematic response to diminished rotator cuff function in a nerve block model. Our second specific aim is to establish the in-vivo kinematic response to high risk occupational work. Our third specific aim is to establish the biomechanical consequences of altered in-vivo kinematics. It is our expectation that the proposed research plan will identify the direct consequences of diminished cuff function observed in the workplace. These results will be significant because they represent the next step towards understanding the progression from fatigue and weakness to abnormal loading. Since there is strong evidence to support the concept that abnormal loading may lead to a progression from acute tendinitis to chronic rotator cuff tears, the results from this proposal will also serve as the basis for more effective treatment and prevention strategies.

Neurophysiology of Weakness and Exercise in Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of our research agenda is to identify the mechanisms associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy (impingement syndrome) and subsequently evaluate novel treatment strategies that address these mechanisms. The objectives of this application are to study the muscle patterns in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy as well as the effects of both pain and exercise on these patterns. Our first hypothesis is that pain relief from a shoulder injection will result in increased rotator cuff actiity. Our second hypothesis is that patients with tendinopathy will demonstrate improved rotator cuff muscle activity following a six-week exercise program and that this improvement will be higher in patients that respond favorably to treatment. Our final hypothesis is that patients with cuff tendinopathy will show decreased rotator cuff activity compared to healthy subjects. We plan on addressing these hypotheses using several novel techniques for muscle activity assessment.
