Muscle-specific endurance of the trapezius muscles using electrical twitch mechanomyography [PDF]
Background Symptoms of fatigue and pain are often reported for the trapezius muscle in the shoulder. The present study evaluated endurance in the trapezius muscles of healthy participants using electric twitch mechanomyography (ETM). Methods Surface electrodes and a tri-axial accelerometer were placed over the left trapezius muscle.
