Shoulder Proprioception: a Comparative Study on Hand Dominance and Sex

The goal of this cross-sectional study is to examine the differences in proprioception sensation depending on sex and dominant side factors in healthy volunteers. Hypothesises:

H0: Shoulder proprioception sensation does not change depending on sex and dominant side factors.

H1: Shoulder proprioception sensation varies depending on sex and dominant side factors.
