Effect of Gender, Disease Duration and Treatment on Muscle Strength in Myasthenia Gravis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The aim of this observational, cross-sectional study was to quantify the potential presence of muscle weakness among patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).

Normative values of handgrip strength in adolescents according to chronological age and sexual maturation

open access: yesMotriz: Revista de Educacao Fisica, 2021
Aim: Handgrip strength is considered an important health indicator. It is extremely important to establish normative values so that the handgrip strength is correctly interpreted in adolescents.

Muscle Strength and Electromyography.

open access: yesJournal of exercise physiology, 1992
筋の時間的・空間的な収縮特性は、表面筋電図学的な解析によってある程度観測することが可能である。しかし、測定から信号処理までの過程における方法論的な手続きに対する配慮が不十分であると、抽出された情報の実際的な利用価値は低いものになってしまう。そこで、本稿では、表面筋電図学的解析に関する基礎的な情報に関して整理した上で、筋収縮力、筋疲労、筋カトレーニングといった筋収縮特性と表面筋電図との関連性に関して概説する。

How do muscle and bone strengthening and balance activities (MBSBA) vary across the life course, and are there particular ages where MBSBA are most important? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This narrative review focuses on the role of strength and balance activities throughout the lifecycle to improve physical capacity and reduce all-cause mortality.

Diagnostic accuracy of the five times stand-to-sit test for the screening of global muscle weakness in community-dwelling older women

open access: yesExperimental Gerontology, 2023
Background: Although the 5 times stand-to-sit test (5TSST) is indicated for screening for muscle weakness in older adults, its validity is based only on the correlation with quadriceps muscle strength or with the muscle strength of a few muscle groups of

Respiratory and muscular effects of a physiotherapy protocol carried out during hemodialysis in individuals with chronic renal failure: preliminary results.

open access: yesMotriz: Revista de Educacao Fisica, 2020
Aim: To analyze whether the proposed physiotherapy protocol during hemodialysis (HD) increases knee extensor muscle strength, palmar grip strength, respiratory muscle strength, lung function, and functional capacity of individuals with Chronic Renal ...

ATP-induced reconfiguration of the micro-viscoelasticity of cardiac and skeletal myosin solutions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
We study the high-frequency micro-mechanical response of suspensions composed by cardiac and skeletal muscle myosin by optical trapping interferometry. We observe that in low ionic strength solutions upon the addition of magnesium adenosine triphosphate (\ch{MgATP^2-}), myosin suspensions radically change their micro-mechanics properties, generating a ...

Paramagnetic response of muscle-type systems [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 93, 062407 (2016), 2015
We provide a prototypical description of mechanically-induced collective conformational change (folding), relevant in a variety of biological contexts from muscle contraction to hair cell gating and integrin binding. Our study is inspired by the seminal Huxley-Simmons (HS) model which we reinterpret from the perspective of stochastic dynamics involving

Systemic inflammation, body composition, and physical performance in old community-dwellers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background Chronic inflammation, changes in body composition, and declining physical function are hallmarks of the ageing process. The aim of the present study was to provide a preliminary characterisation of the relationship among these age-related ...
