Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study will help determine if blood flow restriction (BFR) changes muscle activity on people performing single arm support while reaching with the opposite arm.
Detailed Description
This study will determine the muscular activation effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) on healthy subjects while they are performing the upper quarter y-balance test (UQYBT) with their dominant arm in stance.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Electromyography
Time Frame: Data will be collected on a single day only. Each subject will only have data collection on one single day. The time frame will be only one hour from the start of data collection to the end. No follow up trials or data collection.
UE and scapular EMG using Delsys Electromyography Unit with Trignio electrodes on the lower trapezius, serratus anterior, anterior deltoid, biceps brachii, and extensor carpi radialis brevis.
Secondary Outcomes
- UQYBT Reach Distances(Data will be collected on a single day only. Each subject will only have data collection on one single day. The time frame will be only one hour from the start of data collection to the end. No follow up trials or data collection.)
