Shoulder Adduction

Setup

Frame Setup Diagram

1: Lie on non-testing side, feet between uprights along mat centre line with elbow under sensor

2: Ensure elbow is straight, humerus in mid-axillary line, velcro cuff just proximal to elbow / over medial epicondyle

3: Adjust housing height and angle until arm is hanging in plane with scapula, 15° abducted

4: With arm relaxed and resting in cuff, re-zero sensor to account for limb weight

Cues

1: Test unilaterally

2: Set scapular, drawing humeral head.

3: Adduct humerus pulling down, ensuring no internal rotation and humerus remains in axillary line

4: Build to maximum force over 5 seconds
