Effects of a Ginkgo biloba extract on forearm haemodynamics in healthy volunteers.

abstract：:Given the important role of the shoulder sensorimotor system in shoulder stability, its assessment appears of interest. Force platform monitoring of centre of pressure (CoP) in upper-limb weight-bearing positions is of interest as it allows integration of all aspects of shoulder sensorimotor control. This study aimed ...
