Design: Randomised Control Trial (RCT) of 4 conditions. Setting: Clinical. Participants: Thirty-four asymptomatic individuals. Main outcome measures: Using an RCT method, variations in CKCUEST starting hand position were tested using hand spacing at standard 36”, 50% height, bi-acromial distance, and bi-acromial distance with reach to 36”. The average number of touches over 3 x 15 s maximal efforts were averaged. The intra-variation reliability, minimum detectable change (MDC) and differences to the standard 36” start position were tested.
