Eccentric exercise has demonstrated great utility in the rehabilitation of various shoulder pathologies. Research on the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the shoulder musculature during these activities is limited, however. Furthermore, no studies have observed how forearm positioning during exercise affects EMG output.
