In vivo measurement of dynamic rectus femoris function at postures representative of early swing phase.
Forward dynamic models suggest that muscle-induced joint motions depend on dynamic coupling between body segments. As a result, biarticular muscles may exhibit non-intuitive behavior in which the induced joint motion is opposite to that assumed based on anatomy. Empirical validation of such predictions is important for models to be relied upon to characterize muscle function. In this study, we ...
متن کاملMeasurement and simulation of joint motion induced via biarticular muscles during human walking
Gait impairments are often treated via targeted interventions performed on biarticular muscles such as the hamstrings, rectus femoris and gastrocnemius. Computational gait models suggest that biarticular muscle function can be nonintuitive, and at times inconsistent with assumptions that underlie current treatment strategies. However, the accuracy of gait model predictions has not yet been syst...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF EIGHT WEEKS OF SCAPULAR FOCUSED TRAINING ON PAIN, ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF SELECTED SHOULDER MUSCLES, AND UPPER EXTREMITY PERFORMANCE IN MALE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS WITH SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL
Background & Aims: Impingement syndrome is the most common injury and cause of movement limitations and pain in the shoulder area. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of focused scapular training on pain, electrical activity of shoulder muscles, and upper extremity performance in male volleyball players with shoulder impingement syndrome. Materials & Methods:...
متن کاملComparison of different methods of core muscle fatigue on lower extremity function tests among female athletes
Despite the importance of core muscles in kinetic chains, the importance of each muscle compared to others has rarely been investigated. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of each core muscle fatigue on lower extremity function tests. This quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design was performed on 30 physical educations, female students with the mean age of 23.46±...
متن کاملThe Effect of Lower Extremity Muscle Fatigue on Dynamic Postural Control Analyzed by Electromyography
Purpose: Postural control preserves organs and body parts in a proper biomechanical stance which exists in two forms: static and dynamic. Fatigue is one of the factors that affects postural control. This study aimed to compare the electromyography (EMG) activity of the lower extremity muscles before and after fatigue. Methods: This study was descriptive correlational and based on the research ...
