Having piloted the system during an Innovate UK co-funded project during 2015\/16 the English Institute of Sport has invested in the MUJO ‘smart’ upper limb devices to continue the support provided to elite level athletes on the British Gymnastics performance programme.<\/p>\n
Funding support was provided via Sport England after the devices were successfully evaluated and incorporated into the periodic evaluation programs of shoulder (rotator cuff) capacity of 40-50 senior and junior athletes including one of the stars of the Rio Olympics, five-time olympic medalist Max Whitlock MBE.<\/p>\n

Ruddy Farquharson, senior strength & conditioning and rehabilitation coach with British Gymnastics explained:<\/p>\n
“The MUJO system offers a repeatable and objective assessment tool to assist our data capture and analysis process. We use it predominantly t<\/em>o identify posterior cuff weakness which can become an issue in this group of athletes due to the specific nature of the demands placed on them by the sport”.<\/em><\/p>\n Dr Ian Horsley PhD Msc MCSP MMACP CSCS, physiotherapist and upper limb research lead at the English Institute of Sport said:<\/p>\n “<\/em>Having supported the development of the system we are excited to be able to implement this latest technology in our pathways. We’re\u00a0<\/em>looking forward to exploring its use\u00a0<\/em>in other groups of our athletes susceptible to similarly high-rates of shoulder-related issues including British Swimming”.<\/em><\/p>\n In addition to periodic benchmarking the system is used to deliver and monitor on-site exercise protocols to those athletes who have been red-flagged through injury.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=”Divider” show_divider=”on” color=”#6aaad1″ divider_style=”solid” divider_position=”top” hide_on_mobile=”on” saved_tabs=”all” \/][et_pb_post_nav admin_label=”Post Navigation” prev_text=”Prev: %title” next_text=”Next: %title” in_same_term=”on” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” title_text_color=”#c05494″ title_font=”|on|||” title_font_size=”12pt” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”1037″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” transparent_background=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” custom_padding=”0px|||”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” make_equal=”off” padding_top_1=”0px” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/8270838_orig.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” force_fullwidth=”on” custom_margin=”0px|||” animation=”left” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”] Having […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":955,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mujofitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
