Protocol refinement and inter- and intra-rater reliability assessment of ultrasound-based measurements of hamstring architecture, and echo intensity, and intra-rater reliability of shear wave elastography

WFUMB Ultrasound Open
Objectives: The increase in hamstring injuries highlights gaps in current understanding and prevention strategies. Hamstring architecture, quality, and mechanical properties influence force production, offering key insights into muscle health and ...

Electrical Modalities in the Rehabilitation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries: State of the Literature and Current Clinical Applications

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

In vivo fascicle behavior of the flexor hallucis longus muscle at different walking speeds

, 2017
Ankle plantar flexor muscles support and propel the body in the stance phase of locomotion. Besides the triceps surae, flexor hallucis longus muscle (FHL) may also contribute to this role, but very few in vivo studies have examined FHL function during ...

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Muscle fascicle strains in human gastrocnemius during backward downhill walking

, 2014
Extensive muscle damage can be induced in isolated muscle preparations by performing a small number of stretches during muscle activation. While typically these fiber strains are large and occur over long lengths, the extent of exercise-induced muscle ...

Three‐Year Propagation Experiment at Ku‐, Ka‐, and Q‐Band in French West Indies

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From January 2021 to December 2023, the Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aérospatiales (ONERA) and the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) conducted a three‐year Earth‐space propagation measurement campaign in Guadeloupe. The experiment used beacon receivers deployed in Pointe‐à‐Pitre airport to record signals at 11.2, 19.7, and

Unveiling Otolith Mystery: Contemporary Testing Approaches and Their Clinical Significance

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Otolith is a critical component of the peripheral vestibular system responsible for detecting linear acceleration. Dysfunction of the otolith organs can lead to vertigo, balance disturbances, and gaze instability. By elucidating the physiological foundations and evaluating both current and emerging methods for assessing otolith ...

Distinct muscle fascicle length changes in feline medial gastrocnemius and soleus muscles during slope walking

, 2009
On the basis of differences in physiology, e.g., histochemical properties and spindle density, and the structural design of the cat soleus (SO) and medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscles, we hypothesized that 1) fascicle length changes during overground ...

Associations of cannabis use, tobacco use and co‐use with brain volume: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug worldwide and is often co‐used with tobacco, the leading cause of preventable death. Although cannabis and tobacco have distinct neurobiological actions, their associations with brain volumes are unclear.

Passive length-tension characteristics of single myofibre segments and fascicle segments in spastic and control FCU.

, 2014
(A) passive tension as function of sarcomere length. Sarcomere length-passive tension curves were neither significantly different comparing spastic and control (n = 10) single myofibre segments (both n = 10), nor comparing spastic and control fascicle ...
