abstract = {Background: this study aimed to identify the influence of postural stability on upperlimb
bilateral deficit (BLD), and to compare the assessment of strength generated during elbow
flexion functionally vs. analytically in the dominant and nondominant arms. Methods: Twenty
men participated in two sessions to evaluate the maximum isometric strength of elbow flexion. This
evaluation was performed unilaterally with the dominant arm, unilaterally with the non-dominant
arm, and bilaterally, both in the sitting position (SiP) and the standing position (StP). Results: The BLD
when peak force was considered was lower for StP (−6.44 ± 5.58%) compared to SiP (−10.73 ± 6.17%)
(p = 0.007). Regarding peak force, statistically significant differences were observed for comparisons
between dominance (p < 0.001) and Position*Dominance (p = 0.02), but mean force differences were
only observed for the dominance factor (p < 0.001). Greater mean and peak forces were always
produced bilaterally compared to unilaterally (p < 0.001). Conclusions: a decrease in postural stability
by performing elbow flexion exercises in a standing position accentuates BLD of peak force.},
