abduction (length = +11.2 mm), and a minimum moment arm length at 2.5
degrees of shoulder
abduction (length = -3.0 mm).

abduction range
of motion between 0 (arms by the sides) to 120
degrees (arms above the head).
They reported that the moment arm length linearly increases between 120
degrees and between 80 — 60
degrees, where a shorter plateau is displayed, before a linear decrease in moment arm length as the shoulder moves towards 0
degrees of shoulder
abduction.
