Shoulder motion activity of daily living activity specific muscles

Mon, 2008/04/07 - 20:00 — Ratzeburg

We are working on a project that deals with motion analysis of the shoulder joint. There are a lot of good motion studies on kinematics of the shoulder. But we are looking for studies that evaluated the activity of specific muscles of the shoulder girdle and the arm during ADLs. Or, which specific muscles are active during haircombing, drinking, bringing the hand to the back pocket, lifting a wheight with flexed elbow or extended elbow. Do you know source where i get more information about activity of specific muscles during these specific activities. Thank you very much for your reply. Sincerely Christian Bahrs

muscle forces

We did not measure EMG, but the kinematic studies also produced model output data, although these have not been reported in detail. Some of these results can be derived from Dennis Magermans' study on the effectiveness of tendon transfers.
