Comparison of Effects of Pincer- and Scissor-pinching Modes of Chopstick Operation on Shoulder and Forearm Muscle Activationduring a Simulated Eating Task
Abstract:Purpose] This study investigated the best training method for chopsticks manipulation through a comparison of muscle activations of the shoulder and forearm between pincer-pinching and scissor-pinching operations.[Subjects] Thirteen participants were recruited. [Methods] They performed simulated eating tasks using two different chopstick operations. The EMG activities of the right side upper trapezius, flexor and extensor carpi radialis were measured.[Results] Electromyographic activity of the upper trapezius … Show more
