A Study to Measure Muscle Activity in Selected Upper Extremity and Torso Muscles using Electronic Non-shocking Sensors

Overview

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.
