Re: G>E: Schultergeradstand

[Guest guest]

Hi Olga,

In the past I have translated it as " shoulders are level, " just as

you suggested, or even " level shoulders " when I wanted to be

particularly brief. Unfortunately I can't help you with

Schulterkulisse. When I Googled Schulterkulisse and shoulder it shows

several hits for " beiderseitiger Schulterkulisse (Asymmetrie) " . Was

the shoulder dislocated?

Sincerely,

Jill

Hi Jill,

The patient's shoulder was not dislocated. The Schulterkulisse is normal. This

word appears twice (so far) in a 90-page document. The patient actually has back

problems. I had been wondering if -kulisse was short for a longer word

(Schulter-something-kulisse or XX-kulisse, without the hyphens). I looked for

Kulisse and Schulter (and patient) and am not any wiser. Unfortunately, the

Google hits that seem relevant refer to restricted sites (e.g., springerlink). I

found one entry for " wing of the shoulder " in regard to scoliosis. I also

wondered if in some strange way the German term referred to shoulder blades.

There are quite a number of odd terms in this document, most of which I have

been able to figure out. The French equivalent would probably be coulisse (I

don't know the word for shoulder here). I may just leave 'shoulder groove' for

this term.

Thank you for " level shoulders. " I may use something like that.

Olga
