How do shoulders work?
This includes examining complicated relative bony movements, exploring muscular control of the proximal upper limb, ensuring high-quality experimental data collection, and other crucial aspects of how shoulders work.
Completed and ongoing research
DIESEL trainees are currently focusing their research on:
- kinematic changes of the pectoralis major following fatiguing protocol
- neuromusculoskeletal control of the pectoralis muscle group
