Furthermore, the differences in muscle mass between arms accounted for only a small proportion of the differences in strength (12–16%) [261]. Thus, other factors, such as the nature of the loading stimulus or muscle efficiency, are likely important in the adaptation of a bone to physical ...

Given equal allocation (1:1) between short and long cast treatment arms, and using 80% power and alpha of 5%, we would need 66 subjects (33 with short cast treatment + 33 long cast treatment) to complete the study. Conservatively, we expect a 12% rate of dropout, thus the sample ...

Participants will be allowed frequent rest breaks to limit any amount of fatigue and soreness participants may experience in their hands and arms following testing. If discomfort increases as a result of testing, participants will be instructed on self- managing symptoms through use of physical agents...
