The role of changes in mechanical usage set points in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis
Mechanical usage (MU) effects on modeling drifts and BMU-based remodeling affect bone mass in defined ways. Decreased MU stops addition...
Examining the developing skeletal muscle: Why, what and how
This review focuses on methodological concepts in the evaluation of skeletal muscle function, taking into account classical muscle phys...
Mechanical efficiency during repetitive vertical jumping
The purpose of this study was to compare mechanical efficiency between repeated static jumps (SJ), countermovement jumps (CMJ), drop ju...
Electromyographic Activity During Whole Body Vibration: Motion Artifacts or Strech Reflex Responses?
Introduction:
The validity of electromyographic (EMG) data recorded during whole body vibration (WBV) is discussed controversially. Som...
Force platforms as ergometers
Walking and running on the level involves external mechanical work, even when speed averaged over a complete stride remains constant. T...
Direct corticospinal pathways contribute to neuromuscular control of perturbed stance
The antigravity soleus muscle (Sol) is crucial for compensation of stance perturbation. A corticospinal contribution to the compensator...
Isometric contraction of the abductor digiti minimi muscle in man
Isometric contraction of the abductor digiti minimi muscle (ADM) has been studied in six normal subjects. Twitch contraction times of A...
Contraction times and fibre types in intact human muscle
Twitches were recorded in situ in muscles of normal humans by small transducers connected to a needle in the tendon. The twitches were ...
