Background And Purpose: Electromyography has been widely used to analyze muscle activation during different tasks to establish standard patterns of muscle activity that allow the establishment of preventive strategies related to each type of motor task. The primary aim was to evaluate the muscle activity of the upper trapezius, lateral deltoid, anterior deltoid, and biceps brachii during analytical movements; and to estimate physiological fatigue from kinematic data obtained during the T-Fast Test.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was developed at Axarquia Hospital (Spain).
