Comparing arm function in wheelchair arm wrestling and archery athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares arm speed, strength, and coordination between wheelchair athletes in two sports: arm wrestling and archery. It helps researchers understand how different training affects arm function.
