Electromyography (EMG) has been around since the 1600s [1]. It is a tool used to measure
the action potentials of motor units in muscles [2]. The EMG electrodes are like little …

HYPOTHESIS: Awkward postures and repetitive work have been suggested to lead to
shoulder fatigue, which may in turn decrease the subacromial space. The aim of this study …

The study examined the fatigue effect on tennis performance and upper limb muscle activity.
Ten players were tested before and after a strenuous tennis exercise. Velocity and accuracy …

This study compared the muscular activation of the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid and
triceps brachii during a free-weight barbell bench press performed at 0°, 30°, 45° and–15° …

The current study compared the muscle excitation in free-weight bench press variations and
chest press machine. Ten competitive bodybuilders were recruited. The EMG-RMS …

BACKGROUND: Shoulder impairments are often associated with altered scapular
kinematics. As muscles control scapular movement, functionally altering muscle …

The study investigated different electromyographic (EMG) normalisation methods for upper-
limb muscles. This assessment aimed at comparing the EMG amplitude and the reliability of …

Objective To identify the smallest combinations of maximum voluntary isometric contraction
(MVIC) tests that produce near-maximum voluntary activation (MVA) for a large proportion of …

Pushing and pulling account for nearly half of all manual material handling tasks. The
purpose of this investigation was to develop a 3-D spatial muscle activity map for the right …

Abstract The four “Shoulder Normalization Tests” were found previously to be a
parsimonious set of isometric tests that produce maximal voluntary isometric contractions …
