Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Strength of shoulder abduction - Each volunteer undergoes an ultrasonography of both shoulders to assure full rotator cuff integrity then abduction strengths are measured. Subsequentely, either on the left or the right shoulder a local anaesthetic is injected. The other side serves as control, where sodium chloride (NaCL) is injected. Then we repeat the ultrasonography to document the location of the injected fluid and repeat the abduction strengths. | — |
