Abstract
- In conducting animal studies using rotator cuff, researchers should select the appropriate types of animals and experimental models. This should also be followed by complete understanding of the selected experimental animals as well as the methods for evaluating the results. Thus, researchers could minimize errors and failure in conducting animal experimental studies. Further, this will provide a basis of establishing new idea and theory about rotator cuff diseases.
