UPPER EXTREMITY

This study looked at 20 teens with scoliosis (a curved spine) to see if the position of their shoulder blades is linked to how well they can use their arms. Researchers measured shoulder blade movement and arm power using simple tests like throwing a weighted ball. The goal is to…

This study looked at whether breast cancer survivors have reduced arm exercise capacity and oxygen use compared to healthy people. Researchers tested 60 women (30 survivors and 30 healthy) using an arm bike and muscle oxygen monitor. The goal was to better understand long-term ef…

This study looked at how muscle strength in the shoulders and arms relates to hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers measured strength in key upper body muscles and tested hand dexterity in 70 participants. The goal was to better understand these connection…

This study looked at 80 people with Parkinson's to see if there is a link between how much their trunk sways and how well they can use their hands. Researchers used a motion sensor to measure trunk sway and a pegboard test to measure hand dexterity. The goal is to understand if b…

This study looked at 55 stroke survivors to see if arm function in the first days after stroke can predict trunk (core) recovery weeks later. Researchers measured trunk impairment and arm skills using standard tests. The goal is to find simple early clues that help therapists pla…
