We aim to develop a non-invasive test of the movement patterns of the thorax,
scapula and humerus during arm elevation, which can be completed within one
hour. We use motion analysis to observe the movements of the body surface during
arm elevation in various planes and at different speeds. A segmental analysis
describes the results by a formal model, which has some resemblance to the skeletal
movements involved. We now have some information about how age changes the patterns
of movement and are starting to investigate the influence of shoulder dysfunction.
During the next year we will also study the relation between the skeletal movements
and the skin movements.
