Background Shoulder pain as a result of rotator cuff pathology is one of the most common
musculoskeletal complaints presenting within primary care. Assessment of hand grip …

Injury conditions affecting the upper extremity may lead to severe functional impairment and
an accurate evaluation is needed in order to select the most effective treatment in a …

Simple Summary The Athletic Shoulder (ASH) test was developed to quantify force across
the shoulder girdle in athletes for diagnosis and monitoring. Initially, this test was performed …

Muscle specific maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) are commonly used to elicit
reference amplitudes to normalize electromyographic signals (EMG). It has been questioned …

Complex repetitive tasks are common in the workplace and have been associated with
upper extremity disorders. The purpose of this study was to examine the progressive effects …

Purpose: Muscle activation of the proximal parts is necessary for distal activities. In fact,
proximal muscles provide stabilized and controlled base for distal parts activities. The …

Objectives To determine the concurrent validity of a sphygmomanometer for assessing
shoulder strength in the I, Y and T positions during the athletic shoulder test (ASH test) …

The main goal of this study was to determinate the extent of the relationship between
shoulder pain and time of wrist and thumb immobilization required after injury. One hundred …

This study aimed to identify the effects of an application of a passive upper-body
exoskeleton (EXO) during an overhead, low force, simulated task. Participants were …
