The loss of range of motion (ROM) in the upper extremities can interfere with activities of
daily living (ADL) and, therefore, many interventions focus on improving impaired ROM. The …

BACKGROUND: Increasing interest in upper extremity biomechanics has led to closer
investigations of both segment movements and detailed joint motion. Unfortunately …

OBJECTIVE. We quantified the range of motion (ROM) required for eight upper-extremity
activities of daily living (ADLs) in healthy participants. METHOD. Fifteen right-handed …

Upper extremity (UX) movement analysis by means of 3D kinematics has the potential to
become an important clinical evaluation method. However, no standardized protocol for …

Disorders of the shoulder complex can be accompanied by changes in the movement
pattern of the scapula. However, scapular motion is difficult to measure. A possible non …

Until recently the contact loads acting in the glenohumeral joint have been calculated using
musculoskeletal models or measured in vitro. Now, contact forces and moments are …

The Delft Shoulder and Elbow Model (DSEM), a large-scale musculoskeletal model, is used
for the estimation of muscle and joint reaction forces in the shoulder and elbow complex …

Highly reliable information on the range of motion (ROM) required to perform activities of
daily living (ADL) is important to allow rehabilitation professionals to make appropriate …

BACKGROUND: Following shoulder arthroplasty, any well-planned rehabilitation program
should include muscle strengthening. However, it is not always clear how different external …

Diagnosis and progress monitoring of frozen shoulder rely on correct measurement of active
and passive range of motion (ROM) of shoulder. This paper studied the feasibility of a …
