Radiographs are usually sufficient for the imaging assessment of suspected arthropathy. Certain radiographic features of affected joints may assist in diagnosis: Distribution Symmetrical or asymmetricalSmall joints or large weight-bearing jointsErosionsJoint space narrowingOsteophytes.

Specifically for rTSA, a better functional preoperative score and an intact cuff are factors that result in poor improvement. Anatomical total shoulder prosthesis generally yields better improvement than a reversed total shoulder arthroplasty, unless it is performed in shoulders with a torn cuff [13,14,20,59]. Outcome and revision rates also vary according to the indication for the primary prosthesis. The Nordic registries have opted for the input of a single hierarchical indication where acute fractures, fracture sequelae (nonunion, malunion, previous ORIF, fractures together with OA or AVN), inflammatory arthritis, cuff tear arthropathy (CTA), and osteoartritis (OA) can be specified. As the Norwegian Registry is based on a common joint form, the distinction between OA and CTA can only be made by choosing “other” and adding a text in the comment box [23,48,49,62]. Previous surgery has been identified as a risk factor for infection as well as revision. This includes previous cuff repairs, fracture treatment, failed arthroplasty as well as acromioplasty [15,16,20,60]. Some registries allow to record subcategories of previous surgery, but in NARA no information on previous surgery is recorded [62].

Ninety adults (>18 years old) participants were recruited from the local population (via posters placed throughout a university campus and at local family medicine, registered massage therapy, physiotherapy and chiropractic clinics). Exclusion criteria for all participants included a history of back pain caused by tumour, infection, fracture or inflammatory arthropathy (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) and/or previous surgery of the spine. Inclusion criteria for the no history of clinical LBP group (-veHx) consisted of no prior history of clinical low back pain. Inclusion criteria for the history of clinical LBP group (+veHx) consisted of a history of an episode of back pain within the past six months but excluded any participant whose LBP was caused by tumour, infection, fracture or inflammatory arthropathy. Participant characteristics are described in Table 1. This study received ethics clearance from the local research ethics board and all participants completed the informed consent process prior to beginning the study.

The disorders of proprioception observed in numerous neuromuscular diseases resulting from genetic mutation, e.g., neurogenic arthropathy, discopathies, joint hypermobility, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, autism and type II schizophrenia (Beighton & Horan, 1970; Bridges, Smith, & Reid, 1992; Gusella & MacDonald, 2009; Kalathur, Hernández-Prieto, & Futschik, 2012; Lattanzio & Petrella, 1998; Mann et al., 2012; Marusiak, Kisiel-Sajewicz, Jaskólska, & Jaskólski, 2010; Pai, Rymer, Chang, & Sharma, 1997; Warner, Laphart, & Fu, 1996), also suggest genetic determination of proprioception.
