Objectives:
Data from previous bed-rest studies have demonstrated that the muscle groups of the thigh most susceptible to atrophy duri...
Effect of a new physiotherapy concept on bone mineral density, muscle force and gross motor function in children with bilateral cerebral palsy
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a new physiotherapy concept on bone density, muscle force and motor...
Muscle cross sectional area and grip torque contraction types are similarly related to pQCT derived bone strength indices in the radii of older healthy adults
Objectives: We sought to identify the variance in radius bone strength indices explained by forearm muscle cross sectional area (MCSA) ...
Resistive vibration exercise attenuates bone and muscle atrophy in 56 days of bed rest: biochemical markers of bone metabolism
During and after prolonged bed rest, changes in bone metabolic markers occur within 3 days. Resistive vibration exercise during bed res...
Changes in joint angle, muscle-tendon complex length, muscle contractile tissue displacement, and modulation of EMG activity during acute whole-body vibration
It has been suggested that vibration causes small changes in muscle length, but to the best of our knowledge, these have yet to be demo...
Effect of prolonged bed rest on the anterior hip muscles
Prolonged bed rest and inactivity is known to cause muscular atrophy with previous research indicating that muscles involved in joint s...
Prevention of bone loss during 56 days of strict bed rest by side-alternating resistive vibration exercise
Bed rest is a recognized model for muscle atrophy and bone loss in space flight and in clinical medicine. We hypothesized that whole bo...
Vibration as an exercise modality: how it may work, and what its potential might be
Whilst exposure to vibration is traditionally regarded as perilous, recent research has focussed on potential benefits. Here, the physi...
Reize stärken die Muskeln und Knochen
Vibrationstraining bei der Behandlung und zur Vorbeugung von Gelenk- und Rückenbeschwerden, Beckenbodenschwäche, Durchblutungsstörungen oder zur Sturzvorbeugung.
EMG activity during whole body vibration: motion artifacts or stretch reflexes
The validity of electromyographic (EMG) data recorded during whole body vibration (WBV) is controversial. Some authors ascribed a major...
