A Prospective Look at the Link Between Frailty and Shoulder Function in Asymptomatic Elderly Individuals.

Introduction: The relationship between shoulder function and overall function in the elderly patients is not well understood. It is hypothesized that there is an increased tolerance of shoulder dysfunction in this population. The purpose of our study was to investigate and better understand the relationship between shoulder function, general musculoskeletal health, and frailty in the elderly patients.
