OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of gastrocnemius muscle fatigue on postural control ability in elderly people. METHODS Twenty-four healthy elderly people participated in this study. The postural control ability of single leg standing was evaluated with Health Improvement & Management System (HIMS) posturography before and after fatiguing exercises. After evaluating initial postural contro...

Delp, Michael D., Patrick N. Colleran, M. Keith Wilkerson, Matthew R. McCurdy, and Judy MullerDelp. Structural and functional remodeling of skeletal muscle microvasculature is induced by simulated microgravity. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 278: H1866–H1873, 2000.— Hindlimb unloading of rats results in a diminished ability of skeletal muscle arterioles to constrict in vitro and elevate vascul...

Abstract In individuals with transtibial limb loss, a contributing factor to mobility-related challenges is the disruption of biological calf muscle function due transection soleus and gastrocnemius. Powered prosthetic ankles can restore primary mono-articular muscle, which contributes ankle plantarflexion. effect, powered acts like an artificial (AS). However, biarticular gastrocnemius connect...

Lansia adalah sekelompok orang dengan usia diatas 60 tahun yang sedang mengalami suatu proses perubahan bertahap dalam jangka waktu beberapa dekade. Fase lansia akan perubahan-perubahan anatomis khususnya pada sistem muskuloskeletal diantaranya nyeri sering timbul di daerah extremitas bawah yaitu otot gastrocnemius sehingga terjadi penurunan kekuatan otot. Nyeri muscle dapat diukur menggunakan ...

Activated inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB kinase β (IKKβ) is necessary and sufficient for denervated skeletal muscle atrophy. Although several studies have shown that Mg(2+)/Mn(2+)-dependent protein phosphatase 1B (PPM1B) inactivated IKKβ, few studies have investigated the role of PPM1B in denervated skeletal muscle. In this study, we aim to explore the expression and significance of PPM1B and p...

Objectives: To investigate the biochemical milieu of the pper trapezius muscle in subjects with active, latent, or absent yofascial trigger points (MTPs) and to contrast this with that f the noninvolved gastrocnemius muscle. Design: We used a microanalytic technique, including neele insertions at standardized locations in subjects identified as ctive (having neck pain and MTP), latent (no neck ...

Running Title: Low-level laser irradiation in disuse muscle atrophyAbstract Low-level laser (LLL) irradiation promotes proliferation of muscle satellite cells, angiogenesis and expression of growth factors. Satellite cells, angiogenesis and growth factors play important roles in the regeneration of muscle. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of LLL irradiation on rat gastrocne...
