Over the past few decades, great advances have been made in the understanding human movement and how disabilities impede normal function. There is a great need to fully understand the mechanisms by which the human upper extremity (shoulder, arm, and hand) becomes injured with everyday use. These disorders involve muscle tissue (muscle pain), connective tissue (e.g. tennis elbow), and peripheral nerves (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome). By understanding the control of movement and the way muscle, tendon and ligament forces interact inside the arm, we can ultimately prevent disorders, especially those developed at work.

在过去的几十年里，在理解人类运动和残疾如何阻碍正常功能方面取得了巨大进展。有必要充分了解人类上肢（肩膀、手臂和手）在日常使用中受伤的机制。这些疾病涉及肌肉组织（肌肉疼痛）、结缔组织（如网球肘）和周围神经（如腕管综合征）。通过了解运动的控制以及肌肉、肌腱和韧带力量在手臂内部相互作用的方式，我们最终可以预防疾病，特别是在工作中发展起来的疾病。
