  • outcome measures

    • We use two instruments to measure outcomes. The Simple Shoulder Test
    is a convenient measure of function with 12 questions. The SF-36 has
    a larger history of use and evaluation, but takes longer for the
    patient to complete.

    Please contact me if you want more information about how we implement
    these measures, and evaluate the results.

  • scanner

    • This is a flatbed laser interferometry device that Bill Dougherty built
    for scanning the 3D surface of a glenoid - I'll try to get a picture
    of it in action.

  • erector-set tipping device

    • This is a pretty-neat device that Dr. Matsen built for testing the
    stability of spheres in a dish. I'll try to get some pictures up for
    a better-idea of how this is used.
