The phrase "arm abduction" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in anatomical or physiological contexts to describe the movement of the arm away from the body.
Example: "During the physical therapy session, we focused on improving arm abduction to enhance shoulder mobility."
Alternatives: "arm movement away" or "arm lateral movement".
The ECUG was excellent or acceptable in 100% of the x-rays on standard PA views (arm abducted 90°), 87% excellent or acceptable and 13% unacceptable on 45° arm abduction views, and 23% excellent or acceptable and 77% unacceptable on 0° arm abduction (adducted) views (all with the elbow flexed at 90°).
Industrial jobs involving upper arm abduction have a strong association with musculoskeletal disorders and injury.
Posteroanterior views were taken in all patients at 90°, 45°, and 0° arm abduction and in 171 patients at 90° elbow flexion and 90° arm abduction with full elbow extension.
A relative lack of clavicular rotation with arm abduction was presumed to be a proximal cause of nontraumatic TOS.
Adductor co-activation during active arm abduction has been reported to reduce subacromial narrowing and pain in cuff patients.
Twenty healthy controls and twenty full-thickness cuff tear patients exerted EMG-recorded isometric arm abduction and adduction tasks.
Motor evoked potentials (MEP) could not be evoked systematically seated at rest but could be evoked bilaterally in erector spinae muscles during unilateral arm abduction.
The results clearly indicate that joint ROM significantly decreases (p < 0.05) with increasing age for arm abduction, arm medial and lateral rotation, wrist flexion and wrist adduction.
The electromyographic (EMG) activity in the erector spinae at L4 vertebral level during contralateral arm abduction was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than in the ipsilateral erector spinae.
To compare the reduction of subacromial space (SAS) during arm abduction between overhead athletes with and without rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy, and to explore the relationship between the strength of scapular muscles with the SAS.
However, to date, no vigorous assessment and reporting of inter-rater reliability of this method has been performed with the shoulder in a neutral position or with active and passive arm abduction.
