Researchers at ASU conducting a study of upper limb motion in older adults are looking for volunteers. To be eligible for the study participants must:

• be at least 55 years old;
• have either no known current shoulder injury on their dominate side or have been diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear on their dominate side by their doctor; and
• have no history of other major shoulder injuries.

Participants will:

• complete a questionnaire to ensure they qualify for the study;
• have ultrasound images taken of their shoulder;
• have their shoulder strength and range of motion measured; and
• perform functional tasks in a motion capture laboratory.

If you are interested in participating in this study contact the research team at asuUPEXFunction@gmail.com or by calling 602-827-2294.

Free parking on campus and an $80 compensation will be provided for participants.
