Many researchers have suggested a compensatory strategy to decrease the load on the fatigued shoulder musculature [18, 19, 51, 67]. Mukhopadhyay et al. [50] explored that industrial jobs involving upper arm abduction have a strong association with musculoskeletal disorders and injury. The study pointed out that there is still paucity of data on the different risk factors that are responsible for the genesis of such disorders or injuries. In this study 36 right handed male university students participated in a full factorial model of three forearm rotation angles (60◦ prone and supine and neutral range of motion), three elbow angles (45◦, 90◦ and 135◦), two exertion frequencies (10 and 20/min) and two levels of pronation torque (10 and 20 % MVC). The discomfort rating after each 5-min treatment was recorded on a visual ana- logue scale. The findings of the study indicated that with the upper arm in abduction, an elbow angle of 45◦ and forearm prone, are a posture vulnerable to injury and should be avoided.
