NCT06346314

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test normal participants. The main question it aims to answer is: • Do the participant's pectoralis minor muscles change length immediately after performing an exercise that recruits the scapular retractor muscles? Participants will have their pectoralis minor muscle measured, then perform an exercise recruiting the scapular retractor muscles, and then have their pectoralis muscle measured again.
