Posture and Mobility of the Upper Quadrant Clinical Trial
Official title:
Posture and Mobility Measurements of the Upper Quadrant in Asymptomatic Subjects by Means of a Smartphone
This study aims to investigate posture-mobility associations in the upper quadrant by means of smartphone measurements
One purpose of this study is to measure the magnitude of the thoracic kyphosis, thoracic
spine extension, and side-to-side differences in scapular protraction and elbow extension
range of motion during the median nerve neurodynamic test through a smartphone (iPhone 4,
app Compass, iOS 7.1.1), and to assess the intrarater agreement parameters.
Another purpose is to assess associations between thoracic kyphosis, thoracic spine
extension, scapular protraction and the resting length of the pectoralis minor muscle
through smartphone, photographs and tape measurements.
