Testing postures for isometric joint moment-generating capacity measurements at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints. For all trials, participants were seated and restrained with straps crossing the shoulders and lap, restricting torso motion.

Wrist (flexion/extension) Elbow (flexion/extension) Shoulder (abduction/adduction)
Wrist in neutral posture, forearm pronated, elbow flexed at 90°, shoulder in neutral abduction Elbow flexed at 90°, forearm supinated with wrist braced, shoulder in neutral abduction Shoulder abducted at 60L, elbow braced in extension, forearm in neutral rotation
