Researchers uncover risk of shoulder injury during and after spaceflight
"The main finding of the study was that astronauts who have been in spaceflight, especially the longer duration they have been in spaceflight, experience higher rates of shoulder injuries, particularly rotator cuff tears—even those that require surgery," said Dr. Adil Ahmed, corresponding author and assistant professor in the Joseph Barnhart Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Baylor.
