Table 1 Overview of all tested situations (five models at three shoulder flexion angles) and information on whether and after which posterior translation (mm) the humeral head was either in contact with the acromion or dislocated posteriorly

From: Posterior stability of the shoulder depends on acromial anatomy: a biomechanical study of 3D surface models
