Marker placement for 3D kinematics of the upper limb: A total of 16 markers will be used. Participants will be seated in a chair without back support at an adjustable table at the height of the xiphoid process. a Side view: Markers are located on the acromioclavicular joint, lateral and medial epicondyle, midline of the forearm in the direction of the ulnar and radial styloid process. Marker clusters will be placed on the scapula and on the in insertion of the deltoid muscle, 5 cm below the cubital fossa. b Front view: Markers will be located on the most ventral point of the sternoclavicular joint, xiphoid process, jugular notch, the base of the proximal phalanx of fingers 2,3 and 5, and the base of the metacarpal of the 3 fingers. Marker clusters will be located on the base of the 3rd metacarpal, the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, digits 2 and 5 and, the tips of the thumb and forefinger and the carpometacarpal joint. c Rear view: spinous process C7 and T8, scapula root, lower angle of the scapula. Marker clusters will be located on the thorax between C7 and T8
