Abstract :
Introduction : Isokinetic is a reference method forthe assessment of muscle strength. It makes itpossible to establish a functional diagnosis byspecifying the levels of disability of the shouldermicrotraumatic tendon.Objective : Establish the isokinetic profile ofthe tendon shoulder in comparison with ahealthy population and evaluate the impact onthe function and quality of life of the patients.Materials and Methods : A 18-month prospective,descriptive and analytical cohort study of 45 patients with shoulder rotator cuff tendinopathycompared to 20 healthy subjects in thephysical medicine department and functionalrehabilitation of the Ibn Rochd UniversityHospital in Casablanca. Both groups receivedclinical and paraclinical evaluation in addition toisokinetic evaluation.Results : The mean age was 34 +/- 4.4 with afemale predominance (72%). The isokineticevaluation found a significant difference in themuscle strength of the medial and lateral rotatorsbetween the two groups evaluated as well asbetween.Discussion/conclusion : Tendinopathy of theshoulder is related to the pain and limitationof functional abilities but also to the deficit ofstrength of the rotator muscles which constitutesby itself a predictive factor of occurrence oftendinopathy of the rotator cuff leading to thealteration Of patients’ quality of life significantly.
