BACKGROUND: There is very limited information about the changes in shoulder kinematics in patients with reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The aim of the study was to investigate the changes in the scapulohumeral rhythm and shoulder kinematics over time after the reverse shoulder procedure. METHODS: Nineteen patients with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (age: 65.8 ± 10.3 years) were included to the study. During arm elevation in the sagittal and scapular planes, operated shoulder kinematics (humerothoracic elevation, glenohumeral elevation, scapulohumeral rhythm, and scapular rotations) were assessed using an electromagnetic tracking system at the postoperative 3rd, 6th, and 18th months...
