Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.

Stimulation-Induced Muscle Deformation Measured With A-Mode Ultrasound Correlates With Muscle Fatigue

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Muscle fatigue is a common physiological phenomenon whose onset can impair physical performance and increase the risk of injury. Traditional assessments of muscle fatigue are primarily constrained by their dependence on maximum voluntary contractions ...

Sustained Isometric Wrist Flexion and Extension Maximal Voluntary Contractions on Corticospinal Excitability to Forearm Muscles during Low-Intensity Hand-Gripping

Brain Sciences, 2020
The wrist extensors demonstrate an earlier fatigue onset than the wrist flexors. However, it is currently unclear whether fatigue induces unique changes in muscle activity or corticospinal excitability between these muscle groups.

Associations of Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity With Frailty Over Five Years of Follow‐up

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To evaluate whether rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity is associated with frailty both in cross‐section and longitudinally. Methods Participants within the Veterans Affairs Rheumatoid Arthritis (VARA) registry enrolled from 2003 to 2022 were included.

Dysregulation of metabolic‐associated pathways in muscle of breast cancer patients: preclinical evaluation of interleukin‐15 targeting fatigue

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
Background Breast cancer patients report a perception of increased muscle fatigue, which can persist following surgery and standardized therapies. In a clinical experiment, we tested the hypothesis that pathways regulating skeletal muscle fatigue are ...

Body fat, but not muscle quality, is related to perceived fatigue in young-adult active and inactive women

Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2019
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of perceived fatigue with body composition and muscle quality (strength, thickness and specific torque) in young adult women.

Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...

Research on muscle fatigue of upper limb in overhead static work

Xibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao
To explore the muscle fatigue features of upper limb at different heights in overhead static work, an experiment was conducted to obtain the surface electromyography (sEMG) of subjects and their subjective fatigue state based on Borg CR-10 scale.
