The movie on the left shows the activation coloring of the muscles in the Simbody visualiser (red is more active). The movie on the right shows arm abduction with the real-time model linked to Simbody Visualizer. It shows the visualization of glenohumeral stability as it is affected by deltoid and rotator cuff activation. When the deltoid is activated alone it causes glenohumeral instability (shown as a red vector), rotator cuff activation increases the stability (green vector).
