Abstract

The aim of this study was to propose an objective method for the assessment of shoulder complex activity during maintaining an elected position before and after the therapy. The principal of a special set up workplace was 2 dynamometric plates Kistler for recording the contact loads under the palm and the probands’ soles.

The location of the plates was proposed so that the proprietresses of the contact loads cross in the shoulder joint. 5 probands involved in the experiment (aged 20-30 years, having shoulder protraction). Current results show that supposed method is sufficiently sensitive to detect and monitor investigated phenomena.

Now, we prepare more extensive study to obtain data usable for statistical processing and evaluation which will enable to formulate concrete and clear conclusions.
