Overview

Shoulder flexion assessment evaluates the range of motion and quality of movement in the shoulder during forward elevation.

Instructions

Stand upright with arms at your sides. Raise the testing arm forward and overhead as far as possible, keeping the elbow straight and thumb pointing up. Hold briefly at maximum elevation, then lower back to the starting position. Repeat on the opposite side.

Dimensions

Required inputs for processing:
  • Handedness: the side [‘left’,‘right’] performing the movement

Generic Outputs

Every capture includes session metadata, standard joint angle/velocity time series, and 3D keypoint positions common to all movements. See Generic Outputs for the full list.

Discrete Metrics

Notes

  • Measurements are based on ShoulderAngleWRTTrunkXYZ.X
  • Sufficient flexion is defined as ≥ 165°
  • Sufficient extension is defined as ≥ 40°
