Sports requiring repeated rotation of the trunk and hips during most aspects of the activity was defined as rotation-related sports (RRS). The SFA was defined as rotation-type or horizontal-type by using the axial view of the CT scan.

Article Synopsis
- * After waiting a year post-injury, he underwent surgery (valgus closing-wedge osteotomy) which improved his shoulder angles significantly but he still experienced pain during certain movements.
- * To address this ongoing pain, a second procedure (arthroscopic subacromial decompression) was performed, which successfully alleviated his symptoms and highlighted the importance of monitoring the subacromial space during initial surgery to prevent complications.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the additive effect of the active form of vitamin D3 on the gain in back extensor strength through a back extensor exercise.
Design: A total of 107 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were randomly divided into two groups: the D3 group and the control group. Both groups were treated with calcium and alendronate and undertook the back extensor exercise.
