| Active Nerve Denervation | EMG examination will be performed by a single neurologist. The EMG Examination will be performed on the muscles (upper subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and rhomboid) to look for any presence or absence of active denervation. Presence indicated by increased insertional activity, fibrillation potential, positive sharp waves and/or with fasciculations in both operated and unoperated shoulders. | one year post surgery |

| Neuropathic Changes_recruitment pattern | The EMG Examination will be performed on the muscles (upper subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and rhomboid) to look for the presence or absence of neuropathic changes assessed by examining unit morphology: phases with recruitment pattern measured as 1-2 or 3-4 units in both operated and unoperated shoulders. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Tear in Rotator Cuff Muscles in both shoulders | CT Scan to evaluate rotator cuff muscles for presence or absence of any tear in operative and non-operative. If tear is present - partial or full. If full, small or (<1cm), or medium (1-3 cm_ or Large (3-5 cm) or massive (>5cm), tendon involved (supraspinatus or infraspinatus or subscapularis). | one year post surgery |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
