About
Simon P. Frostick is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the understanding and treatment of shoulder disorders, with a particular focus on the biomechanics of shoulder function and the outcomes of arthroplasty. His research bridges the gap between clinical practice and engineering, exploring how muscle activity—captured through electromyography (EMG)—correlates with functional movement and disability. Frostick’s major contributions include developing novel methods to quantify shoulder muscle coordination, such as the movement deviation profile, which provides objective measures of impairment and recovery. This work has helped refine rehabilitation protocols and surgical decision-making for conditions like rotator cuff tears and osteoarthritis. With over 100 publications and thousands of citations, his impact is evident in his leadership roles, including as President of the British Elbow and Shoulder Society and as a pioneer in the design of shoulder replacement prostheses. His 2013 study on EMG correlation with shoulder function, though modestly cited, exemplifies his commitment to linking precise biomechanical data with real-world patient outcomes—a hallmark of his career that continues to influence orthopaedic research and practice.
