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...
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...
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 ...
Vibration therapy
Whole-body vibration training is a method for muscle strengthening that is increasingly used in a variety of clinical situations. Key d...
