Methodological shoulder project

This study aimed to develop a methodological framework to investigate the neural control of the larger superficial shoulder muscles by combining a six-degree-of-freedom load cell attached to a robotic arm with high-density surface electromyograms (HDsEMG). Six healthy participants performed isometric contractions (abduction, adduction, flexion, and extension) at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction with the shoulder positioned at 30° and 65° of lateral abduction. HDsEMGs were recorded from the four muscles and analysed at the global activation, spatial distribution of activation and motor unit levels.For further details, please refer to the READ ME file.
