Enhancing Shoulder External Rotator Electromyography Activity During Sitting External Rotation Exercise: The Impact of Biofeedback Training

Physical Therapy Korea, 2023
Background: The external rotation (ER) exercise in performed at a 90° abduction of the shoulder joint is an effective to strengthen the infraspinatus. However, failure of the humeral head to control axial rotation during exercise can be increased the ...

Activation of Metal Complexes With Ultrasound Waves for Targeted Anticancer Therapy

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Ultrasound enables non‐invasive activation of metal‐based therapeutics deep within tumors. Acoustic cavitation can drive sonodynamic reactive oxygen species generation or mechanochemical metal–ligand bond dissociation, enabling controlled release of bioactive payloads.

Increased Bilateral Interactions in Middle-Aged Subjects [PDF]

, 2014
A hallmark of the age-related neural reorganization is that old versus young adults execute typical motor tasks by a more diffuse neural activation pattern including stronger ipsilateral activation during unilateral tasks.

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Modulation of pressure pain thresholds during and following isometric contraction

, 1995
This study aimed at evaluating the influence of submaximal isometric contraction on pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) in 14 healthy volunteers before and after skin hypoesthesia. PPTs were determined with pressure algometry over m.

New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Pelvic floor muscle training decreases hip adductors isometric peak torque in incontinent women: an exploratory study

Fisioterapia em Movimento
INTRODUCTION: The pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training is the most common treatment for urinary incontinence (UI), however many women performed the contraction of PFM with associated contraction of abdominal, gluteus and hip adductors muscles.

Differential contributions of fatigue‐induced strength loss and slowing of angular velocity to power loss following repeated maximal shortening contractions

Physiological Reports, 2020
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between fatigue‐induced reductions in isometric torque and isotonic power and to quantify the extent to which the decreases in angular velocity and dynamic torque can explain the power loss ...

Mathematical model for isometric and isotonic muscle contractions

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2017
A new mathematical model is presented to describe both the active and passive mechanics of muscles. In order to account for the active response, a two-layer kinematics that introduces both the visible and rest lengths of the muscle is presented within a rational mechanics framework.
