    Abstract Upper limb motion can be challenging to measure and analyze during work or daily life tasks. Further, humeral angle calculation method substantially influences angle outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the repeatability of scapular and humeral kinematics and compare thoracohumeral angle calculation during a work-related and functional task (WRAFT) protocol. Thirty healthy young adults completed the WRAFT protocol (Comb Hair, Wash Axilla, Tie Apron, Overhead Reach, Side Reach, Forward Transfer, Floor Lift, and Overhead Lift) on two separate occasions. Peak humeral angles and select scapular angles were extracted for each task. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs), standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change (MDC) were examined. Humeral angles were compared using the XZY and ZXY rotation sequences and "true" axial rotation for incidence of gimbal lock and amplitude coherence. Results showed that for scapular kinematics, elevation-based WRAFTs produced overall better ICC scores (0.23-0.90) compared to those tasks primarily driven by lateral humeral motion (0.02-0.84). MDCs ranged from 7°-78°, suggesting some tasks demonstrated good repeatability (Comb Hair, Overhead Reach, Floor Lift), while others had very high variability (Side Reach, Tie Apron). Amplitude coherence for thoracohumeral angles was best for ZXY for all tasks except the Comb Hair and Tie Apron, for which XZY is recommended. "True" axial rotation demonstrated good coherence for all but Tie Apron. The WRAFT protocol may be used for functionally relevant scapular and humeral kinematic assessment for select task and posture combinations.

    Abstract Background/objectives: Ocular syphilis is a vision-threatening disease that can lead to permanent blindness if left untreated. The global re-emergence of syphilis warrants greater investigations into the visual prognosis of eyes affected by this potentially devastating disease. This systematic review investigates the impact of HIV on visual acuity (VA) outcomes in ocular syphilis.
    Methods: A literature search of Medline, PubMed, Embase, Clinicaltrials.gov and Cochrane Reviews was conducted for studies published between 01 January 2011 and 19 March 2022, reporting non-aggregate initial and post-treatment VA data of eyes with ocular syphilis and corresponding HIV status in patients ≥ 18 years.
    Results: A total of 95 studies, including 364 patients and 568 eyes, were evaluated. Among people living with HIV with a diagnosis of ocular syphilis, affected eyes were more likely to have optic nerve involvement and panuveitis. However, HIV status, CD4 cell count, and HIV viral load were not predictive of VA outcomes of treated ocular syphilis. Prognostic factors of final VA worse than 1.00 logMAR were female sex, the presence of macular edema, and VA ≥ 1.00 at presentation. The strongest predictor of a worse final VA was VA ≥ 1.00 at presentation.
    Conclusions: This systematic review demonstrates that HIV status, CD4 cell count, and HIV viral load are not significant factors impacting VA outcomes of eyes with ocular syphilis. While visual prognosis is generally good, poor visual outcome is most strongly predicted by poor VA at presentation. This underscores the importance of early recognition and treatment prior to permanent vision loss.
