Static posture assessment
Which muscle would be considered underactive, leading to arms falling forward in the overhead squat assessment?
Middle and lower trapezius
When is a muscle considered overactive?
When it is in a state of elevated neural activity (compared to its antagonist muscle), which causes the muscle to be held in a chronic state of contraction
