Evaluation of Novel High-Density EMG Feedback Parameters on the Spatial Distribution of Trapezius Muscle Activity
… the relation between cervicoscapular posture and trapezius muscle activity is not fully understood because the anatomy of the scapula is not accessible for direct observation. Until recently, the spatial distribution of trapezius muscle activity could not be measured due to the limitation in size …

Investigating Forearm Muscle Activity Across Violin String Heights
… was to evaluate differences in forearm and upper trapezius muscle activity and co-contraction indices during performance of a four-octave G-major scale on two identical violins with a low and a high string height. Surface electromyography was collected from six forearm muscles and bilaterally from …

Disability Self-Assessment and Upper Quarter Muscle Balance in Females
… muscular flexibility of the upper trapezius and levator scapula was measured using an inclinometer. Passive muscle length testing of the pectoralis major and minor was assessed using the Kendall Technique. Subjects were also instructed to maintain four different positions using …

Ergonomic evaluation of shoulder muscle activation during light weight hand tool exertion task
… working individuals. Electromyography (EMG) of trapezius, supraspinatus, triceps, and pectoralis major was conducted for 45 , 0 and -45 arm angles, for three different reaches i.e. normal, maximum and extreme and three different push forces low, medium and high. Ten volunteers participated in …

Rowing Biomechanics: Technique Changes with an Increase of Power Demand
… applying a cyclical load to the body, the mid trapezius fatigues and is unable to resist the force produced during the drive phase (Warden S. J., Gutschlag, Wajswelner, & Crossley, 2002). Once this happens, the scapulae are then pulled anterio-laterally which increases the compression force on …

The Impact of UPC Placement on the Biomechanical Injury Risk Factors Associated with Cashier Work
… flexor digitorum superficialis, and upper trapezius muscles. Cumulative and peak muscle activity were calculated for each trial. Motion capture was placed on the torso, upper arm, forearm, and hand segments and tracked using a Qualysis motion capture system. Range of motion (ROM) values for …
