Many studies illustrated the importance of maximal elbow extension velocity and elbow extension velocity at ball release [ 18, 23], but in this study, we were unable to find differences in elbow extension velocity in the acceleration phase.
The minimum elbow extension angle was 20° during the concentric phase of the PUP exercise.
Neither maximum changes in ROM or Ashworth values correlated with improvements in functional elbow extension during sit and reach tasks, with 3 subjects with normal active ROM showing late onset or no change in reach.
To estimate the intrarater agreement of the Compass application of a smartphone in the assessment of elbow extension range of motion (EE-ROM) at pain onset and maximum tolerable point during the Upper Limb Neurodynamic Test 1 (ULNT1).
Range of motion at the elbow extension.
Results: Data analysis using paired t-tests showed significant improvements in shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction, elbow flexion, elbow extension,and wrist extension.
Patient G.K. showed 5° decreased elbow extension, but shoulder abduction and flexion increased 10°.
Main Outcome Measures: Elbow extension torque was measured with a load cell.
Main Outcome Measure: The strength at discharge of 7 muscle actions (shoulder abduction, elbow flexion, elbow extension, wrist extension, hip flexion, knee extension, ankle dorsiflexion) measured bilaterally with a hand-held dynamometer and compared with norm-referenced values.
The myoelectric signals considered are used to classify four upper-limb movements, which are elbow flexion, elbow extension, wrist pronation and wrist supination, grasp, and resting.
