简要总结
The investigators believe that arm cycling has the potential to be effective in maintaining or improving shoulder muscle functioning. However, there is no evidence for its safety or effectiveness in the upper extremity. The aim of the study is to establish the ability of FSHD sufferers to perform arm cycling to underpin the future design of an arm exercise trial. The study hypothesis is that the limited range of shoulder movement and muscle weakness should not impact the ability of FSHD sufferers to perform arm cycling.

研究组 & 干预措施
Arm cycling
Participants will perform arm cycling using a table-top arm cycler. Cadence and resistance of the exercise will be determined as per each individual's tolerance. All exercise will be supervised by the neuromuscular specialist physio, to ensure it is completed safely. Participants will be able to have plenty of breaks during the assessments.
干预措施: Arm cycling (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Oxford Shoulder Score
时间窗: At one-off study visit: Prior to completion of exercise session
A 12 item patient-reported shoulder instability questionnaire. Each of the questions presents five possible responses corresponding to a score of 0 (most disability/pain) to 4 (least disability/pain). when the twelve items are summed, the questionnaire then produces a single score with a range from 0 (most disability/pain) to 48 (least disability/pain).
