Protocol of body orientation, shoulder joint and shoulder arch movement for bioimpedance measurement_
| Number | Body orientation, shoulder joint and shoulder arch movement |
|---|---|
| 1 | Standing straight up position |
| 2 | Supine position |
| 3 | Sitting and arms straight down and relaxed - starting position (arms straight down) |
| 4 | Arms straight forward (90° shoulder flexion) |
| 5 | Starting position (arms straight down) |
| 6 | Arms behind the back (slight extension in shoulder joints) |
| 7 | Starting position (arms straight down) |
| 8 | Arms straight out to the side (90° abduction in the shoulder joint) |
| 9 | Starting position (arms straight down) |
| 10 | Arms straight back (full extension in shoulder joint, retraction in shoulder arch) |
| 11 | Starting position (arms straight down) |
| 12 | Arms straight up (180° shoulder flexion) |
| 13 | Starting position (arms straight down) |
Thickness of the two distinguished layers of skin on the right shoulder tissue which were examined using the ultrasound machine for the 10 volunteers_ Layer 1 is epidermis and dermis and layer 2 is hypodermics/subcutaneous tissue_
| Participant | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
