Examining Muscle Activity Differences During Single and Dual Vector Elastic Resistance Exercises

# Background Elastic resistance exercise is a common part of rehabilitation programs. While these exercises are highly prevalent, little information exists on how adding an additional resistance vector with a different direction from the primary vector alters muscle activity of the upper extremity....
