Summary

This research is being performed to characterize the rowing stroke in active and inactive individuals who use a manual wheelchair. The investigators will be looking at muscle activity of four shoulder muscles (upper trapezius, lower trapezius, serratus anterior, and posterior deltoid) and motion of the arms, shoulder blade, and trunk during rowing. This will be done for three rowing conditions (1: adapted rowing ergometer, 2: rowing ergometer from a chair, 3: standard seated row exercise using an elastic band \[TheraBand\]). The investigators are also looking at shoulder strength, range of motion, quality of life, and community participation.
