  1. Note: An increase in Nm indicates improvement in muscle torque. S1 - S4 means subject 1 to 4.
  2. §Total of maximal voluntary torques (Nm): Consists of 6 different torque measurements (shoulder flexion - extension; horizontal shoulder rotation; elbow flexion - extension).
  3. †Difference of Nm between baseline and post-test.
  4. ‡Difference of Nm between post-test and follow up.
