Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
In this study we are mainly interested in the muscle activation patterns (measured by surface electromyography, EMG of 8 muscles) and the kinematics of the elbow and shoulder (measured by movement analysis techniques), during movement execution of different tasks.	—
