By: J. Qin*, J. Lin*, G. Faber*, B. Buchholz* & X. Xu*

author keywords: Repetitive work; Kinematic variability; Age; Upper extremity
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / physiology; Adult; Aged; Biomechanical Phenomena; Elbow / physiology; Female; Humans; Kinetics; Middle Aged; Movement / physiology; Muscle Fatigue / physiology; Muscle, Skeletal / physiology; Pronation / physiology; Range of Motion, Articular / physiology; Reaction Time; Rotation; Shoulder / physiology; Task Performance and Analysis; Torque; Upper Extremity / physiology; Work; Wrist / physiology; Young Adult
TL;DR: The results suggested that kinematic and kinetic adaptations occurred to reduce the biomechanical loading on the fatigued shoulder region to compensate for the increased variability caused by the shoulder joint while still maintaining task requirements. (via Semantic Scholar)
