Analysis of Shoulder Muscle Activity During Isokinetic Evaluation of Rotators

University of Liege

Status: Enrolling

Conditions: Muscle Strength; Shoulder; Electromyography; Muscle Activation

Treatments: Other: Isokinetic test + EMG

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

About

The objective of this study is to assess the impact of different positions of the glenohumeral joint on the maximum muscle contraction of different shoulder muscles. The muscles do not contract with the same intensity depending on the position of the arm in relation to the trunk. With the determination of this optimal position to activate the shoulder muscles as much as possible, we will be able to strengthen the patients during their revalidation.
