چکیده

background: it is widely recognized that neuromuscular function is temperature sensitive. changes in muscle temperature may affect muscle force development. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of temperature on wrist flexor muscles endurance. methods: fifteen healthy subjects (mean age  21.13 ±1.30 years) participated in the present study.  the wrist flexor muscles endurance was measured before and after applying ice and hot packs over the forearm for 15 minutes. paired t tests were used to compare differences between pre and post intervention endurance. results: the results showed a significant increase in wrist flexor muscles endurance after heating. (p=0.04). we also found that, cooling the forearm muscles leaded to significant decrease of wrist flexor muscles endurance (p=0.01).   conclusion : these results suggest that hand function is temperature sensitive. therefore, further studies are needed to evaluate the effects of cold on muscular function in people working in workplaces with extreme temperature.

Electromyography of wrist and finger flexor muscles in olive baboons (Papio anubis).

Some non-human primates use digitigrade hand postures when walking slowly on the ground. As a component of an extended limb, a digitigrade posture can help minimize wrist joint moments thereby requiring little force production directly from wrist flexors (and/or from the assistance of finger flexors) to maintain limb posture. As a consequence, less active muscle volume would be required from th...

Reduced endurance of the cervical flexor muscles in patients with concurrent temporomandibular disorders and neck disability.

Subjects with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) have been found to have clinical signs and symptoms of cervical dysfunction. Although many studies have investigated the relationship between the cervical spine and TMD, no study has evaluated the endurance capacity of the cervical muscles in patients with TMD. Thus the objective of this study was to determine whether patients with TMD had a redu...

Effects of Plantar Flexor Muscles Fatigue on Postural Control during Quiet Stance and External Perturbation in Healthy Subjects

Background: The maintenance of postural control is a key component in dynamic physical activity, especially during muscle fatigue and against external forces. Despite many studies in this field, there is no consensus regarding the effects of plantar flexor muscles fatigue on postural control during different postural tasks.Objective: To evaluate the effects of plantar flexor muscles fatigue on ...

Effects of changing wrist positions on finger flexor hypertonia in stroke survivors.

We sought to establish whether spastic hypertonia results from changes in intrinsic muscle properties or from altered stretch reflex properties. We hypothesized that finger flexor spastic hypertonia is primarily of neural origin, and that the dynamics of spastic muscle responses to stretch should therefore reflect the dynamics of muscle spindle receptor responses. In 12 stroke survivors, we rec...
