To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the reliability of palpatory tests of scapulothoracic motion. We found substantial to almost perfect reliability for the four mobility tests of ...

Individualized training regimes are often based on ventilatory thresholds (VTs). The objectives were to study: (1) whether VTs during arm ergometry could be determined in individuals with spinal cord ...

Background Understanding injury aetiology is vital to the development of preventative programs. However, evaluating causation in multifactorial events is difficult. Qualitative analysis may present an ...
