Brief Summary

A study to obtain normative values and repeatability measures during functional reaching tasks in able-bodied individuals with no functional limitations.

Detailed Description

The study has three main aims: 1) Define the data collection methods, and calculate the repeatability, of joint angles, muscle activation magnitudes, seating pressure, foot pressure, and reach distance during seated and standing reaching activities. 2) Collect normative values of joint angles, muscle activation magnitudes, seating pressure, foot pressure, and reach distance during seated and standing functional reaching tasks in 40 participants with no functional limitations. Descriptive statistics will include calculating the mean, median, standard deviation, and range of the outcome variable values. 3) Compare joint angles, muscle activation magnitudes, seating pressure, foot pressure, and reach distance collected during a seated reaching task to those collected during a standing reaching task.

The data collected may be used in the future as baseline reference and repeatability values of outcome measures against which to compare values from individuals with functional limitations to quantify their functional ability.
