Objectives:The incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorder remains high in sonography. The aims of this study are to determine the changes in muscle stiffness with different arm abduction angles, and to investigate the effect of cushion support on reducing muscle load in the supraspinatus when sonographers scan with the arm abducted to different angles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
