Subject: Kayak Shoulder Injury Study: Volunteers Needed

Hi, I am a grad student working on my PhD in Sports Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh and I am studying shoulder injuries in whitewater kayakers. I am finally getting my dissertation study started and need some volunteers to come in and help me. I am looking for people who have shoulder pain, which bothers them when they are paddling.

My study looks as several factors which are associated with shoulder pain including strength and flexibility. Plus, I am doing 3D motion analysis and measuring muscle activation while kayaking on a stationary kayak.

Testing takes place at the UPMC Center for Sports Medicine on the South Side of Pittsburgh. There is only 1 test session which takes less than 3 hours to complete. I can schedule testing around your availability (weekends, evenings, etc). I will be testing starting in January. You will be compensated $100 for your time. Also, I will assess your shoulder and suggest appropriate treatment, if requested.

If you are interested please send me an email [ caw2 @ pitt.edu ]. Just indicate you are a boater with shoulder pain and I will get back to you with more info.

I really appreciate anyone willing to help. I am ready to graduate!



Thanks,

Craig
