About this study
The purpose of this study will be to measure muscle activity in selected upper extremity and torso muscles using electronic non-shocking sensors. Subjects will perform a series of three exercise conditions requiring the participant to complete a pulling exercise while maintaining the spine in a neutral position. The three exercises will be performed using a suspension strap training system.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Must be between 20 and 39 years of age.
- Each subject must demonstrate normal active range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot as assessed visually by one of the investigators.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Volunteers reporting a history of the following upper and lower extremity conditions will be excluded from the study:
- Previous subluxation, dislocation, or fracture
- A history of joint instability, tendinitis, bursitis, impingement, adhesive capsulitis, neurovascular complications, or any condition that limited physical activity for greater than two days over the last six months
