Hello list,
Only me again pestering for some info.
As some of you may already know I was hoping to do my dissertation on the
proprioception of the shoulder joint. The biggest obstacle I have come
across and probably the main one I need to consider is how to measure it.
If worst comes to worst I was going to design my own apparatus.
This is were you lot come in.
Does anyone out there know of apparatus that is available on the market to
either rent or buy to give a good indication of proprioception?
Alternatively has anyone got good design ideas they'd be willing to share?
I would be wanting to test proprioception of both shoulders in one
plane...probably flexion for practicality.
Your help is always appreciated.
But for the grace of people like Mel Siff and Simon Mesner go I.
Cheers for the humour boys - very interesting and informative reading.
Believe it or not some of us actually got some use out of the discussion.
