Effect of Shoulder Angle on the Activation Pattern of the Elbow Extensors During a Submaximal Isometric Fatiguing Contraction
… the current study was to examine the effect of shoulder angle on the electromyographic (EMG) activation pattern of the elbow extensors during a fatiguing contraction. METHODS: Ten young men (23.5 ± 1.7) were tested on two occasions with the shoulder at either 0° or 90° of flexion. Baseline …

Rowing Biomechanics: Technique Changes with an Increase of Power Demand
… with increasing power level. The transverse shoulder angle decreased (the upper back was less straight) as power level increased (R2=-0.69±19), suggesting that the scapula moved anterio-laterally. This may be that as it tired, the mid-trapezius was unable to hold the scapulae in position. The …

Exploring the effects of mental fatigue on perceptual motor task performance and kinematics
… fatigue apart from a significant decrease in shoulder angle of elevation at the end of dart throwing motions. However, notable variability was observed among all outcome measures, likely due to the complex unconstrained nature of this task. Further constraining this task may allow for further …

Using Thermography to Evaluate the Effects of Arm Flexion and Loading on the Anterior Deltoid during a Simulated Overhead Task
Shoulder injuries are a focus of work related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD) research due to rising healthcare costs, an aging workforce, and long recovery times. Substantial research has been performed in the area of shoulder WMSDs and a number of risk factors have been implicated in their …

Evaluating the influence of lifter face angle on the trajectory of particles in a tumbling mill using PEPT
… aimed at evaluating the influence of lifter face angle on the charge kinematics for a laboratory scale mill. The study involved tracking a single particle representing the ensemble using the Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) to obtain the location of the particle with time. The particle …

Effects of Adjustments to Wheelchair Seat to Back Support Angle on Head, Neck, and Shoulder Postures
… wheelchair. Opining the seat to back support angle of the wheelchair enable realignment body segments and improves posture. Objective: 1) assessed the validity/reliability of Coach’s Eye (CE) smart device application, 2) examined the effect of seat to back support angle adjustments on head, …
