Effect of Different Elbow Angles Positions on Hand Grip Strength and Myoelectrical Activity of Wrist Flexors in Healthy Subjects

An electromyographic assessment pilot study on the reliability of the forearm muscles during multi-planar maximum voluntary contraction grip and wrist articulation in young males

“…This study has similarly been designed to analyse EMG output from the FDS and ECRB of both left and right arms with the elbow held at 90 degrees in neutral, flexion, extension, ulnar deviation and radial deviation. A study by Khalil et al (2016) showed that a significant increase in the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the Flexor Carpi Radialis and Flexor Carpi Ulnaris was observed when the elbow was positioned at 90 degrees as opposed to 0 degrees and 180 degrees [33].…”
