Arm and shoulder tests for healthy tennis players and swimmers
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is for healthy tennis players and swimmers. It tests a set of physical performance tests for the upper body (arms, shoulders, hands) to see how well they measure athletic ability. If you are a competitive tennis player or swimmer and have no arm or shoulder problems, you may be eligible.
