Shoulder range of motion

Unilateral hand load carriage decreases shoulder range of motion in humans.
“Load carriage did not affect spatiotemporal walking parameters but reduced the shoulder range of motion differently between fallers and non-fallers.”

Unilateral hand load carriage increases gluteus medius electromyography in humans.
“At higher load levels, these changes were accompanied by increased activation of the contralateral gluteus medius.”

Unilateral hand load carriage has no effect on margin of stability in humans.
“In contrast, when the load was included, MoS remained stable across all conditions.”
