LOAD-VELOCITY RELATIONS IN HUMAN ELBOW FLEXORS CALCULATED FROM A MATHEMATICAL MODEL

A Mathematical Model for Multiple-Load AGVs in Tandem Layout

Reducing cost of material handling has been a big challenge for companies. Flexible manufacturing system employed automated guided vehicles (AGV) to maintain efficiency and flexibility. This paper presents a new non-linear mathematical programming model to group n machines into N loops, to make an efficient configuration for AGV system in Tandem layout. The model minimizes bot...

Quantitative analysis of the velocity related pathophysiology of spasticity and rigidity in the elbow flexors.

OBJECTIVE To quantify velocity dependent and position related properties of increased muscle tone measured during a constant velocity stretch. METHODS Elbow flexors were vertically stretched under four different velocities (40, 80, 120, and 160 degrees /s) through a 75 degrees range of motion in 12 patients with hemiparesis, 16 with parkinsonism, and 12 normal controls. From reactive torque m...

Changes in the Muscle Strength of the Elbow Flexors

Short-term high- vs. low-velocity isokinetic lengthening training results in greater hypertrophy of the elbow flexors in young men.

We performed two studies to determine the effect of a resistive training program comprised of fast vs. slow isokinetic lengthening contractions on muscle fiber hypertrophy. In study I, we investigated the effect of fast (3.66 rad/s; Fast) or slow (0.35 rad/s; Slow) isokinetic high-resistance muscle lengthening contractions on muscle fiber and whole muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) of the elbow...

The comparison of cross –education effect in young and elderly females from unilateral training of the elbow flexors

  Background :Many studies have reported the increase in strength of the untrained contralateral limb after unilateral training. The aim of this study was to compare the cross education effect in the young and elderly persons.   Methods : In this quasi-experimental and pre-post study, 12 young people aged 28.25 ±3.11 years and 12 elderly persons (aged 73.08 ± 5.3 years) participated. The subjec...
