Thanks to all who responded. The replies were very helpful. Here is a
posting of the responses for all who wanted them.
It's a good list, I recommend saving it!
Thanks,

There are very few studies detailing the mechanical properties of the
rotator cuff. A couple of studies have looked at the supraspinatus
tendon, but that's about it.
Nakajima et al: Histologic and biomechanical characteristics of the
supraspinatus tendon: reference to rotator cuff tearing. Journal of
Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 3:79-87, 1994.
Itoi et al: Tensile properties of the supraspinatus tendon. Journal of
Orthopaedic Research, 13:578-584, 1995.
Hope this helps,

It is known that the supraspinatus tendon transmits 300N of force
when the arm is 30 degrees abducted (Wallace 1984, proceeding of the
Orthopaedic Research Society) and this tends to be the strength that
implant manufacturers aim for with new anchors for cuff repair.

i dont know how detailed you information needs to be, but i know the
book "the
athletes shoulder" is an excellent book. I hope that i have been
helpful.

Try Nordin and Frankle (not sure about the Frankle spelling) -
biomechanics. They have good summaries of literature for major joints,
as
well as the components (bone, tendon, muscle, cartlidge) and its in
pretty
easy to read format. If you are interested, I can give you exact
authors,
title etc. but I don't have it here at work.

John,
You might try a search of the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery.
You might also send an email request to Thay Lee at University of
California Irvine (director of Biomechanics Research) who I believe has
done research on the rotator cuff. I would be interested in receiving
the response you get to this inquiry.

Hi John,
You might want to try the Journal of Biomechanics Vol. 20, #2: 119-134
and
157-166; 1987
These papers are:
1)On the biomechanics of human shoulder complex... Peindl and Engin
2)Biomechanical model of the human shoulder-elements...Hogfors et al.
Hope they help, I amy have more if you need EMG related or strength
curve
info.

John,
I have done some research into the physiological aspects of rotator cuff
injuries. I would look at any work done by ASMI (American Sports
Medicine
Institute), Jim Andrews, or Kevin Wilk. If there isn't any information
within the articles, the citations at the end should provide some good
references. If you would like, I can do some digging on my own.
Good Luck,
Phil Kujawa, ATC

John,
John Brault of our office was the Director of the Biomechanics Lab at
the Kerlan/Jobe Orthopedic Clinic at Centinela Hospital. He has
extensive research experience with the rotator cuff including fine wire
EMG of the cuff muscles and shoulder complex during various activities.
We have addressed rotator cuff injury mechanics in numerous forensic
cases (automobile, sport/recreation, slip/fall). In 1996 we conducted
low-speed rear-end collisions with live human subjects (see Stapp '97
for kinematic results and Archives of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation, January '98 for clinical results). At first one would
not think rear-end collisions would present the proper injury
mechanism. However, we have been looking at the torso forward rebound
velocity (measured in our tests) as a potential contributor to rotator
cuff injury causation in certain at-risk individuals in certain
pre-impact postures. It is an interesting topic.
