Changes in power assessed by the Wingate anaerobic test following downhill running [PDF]
Few studies have examined the effects of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage on power despite power being a key performance variable in a number of sporting events.

Is total muscle strength related to pelvic floor muscle strength in young women?
Introduction: The intravaginal examination is an important part of the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) functional assessment. However, women sometimes refuse to submit to this procedure due to being embarrassed.

Paraspinal Muscle DTI Metrics Predict Muscle Strength [PDF]
BackgroundThe paraspinal muscles play an important role in the onset and progression of lower back pain. It would be of clinical interest to identify imaging biomarkers of the paraspinal musculature that are related to muscle function and strength.

Abstract Objectives Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is an effective treatment for Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), but recovery varies between patients. This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a single and a second IVIg dose (SID) in patients with GBS.

Passive Cervical Spine Ligaments Provide Stability during Head Impacts in Vivo [PDF]
It has long been suggested that neck muscle strength and anticipatory cocontraction can decrease head motions during head impacts. Here, we quantify the relative angular impulse contributions of neck soft tissue to head stabilization using a musculoskeletal model with Hill-type muscles and rate-dependent ligaments.

Adaptive Compliance Shaping with Human Impedance Estimation [PDF]
Human impedance parameters play an integral role in the dynamics of strength amplification exoskeletons. Many methods are used to estimate the stiffness of human muscles, but few are used to improve the performance of strength amplification controllers for these devices. We propose a compliance shaping amplification controller incorporating an accurate

Electrostatic Brakes Enable Individual Joint Control of Underactuated, Highly Articulated Robots [PDF]
Highly articulated organisms serve as blueprints for incredibly dexterous mechanisms, but building similarly capable robotic counterparts has been hindered by the difficulties of developing electromechanical actuators with both the high strength and compactness of biological muscle.

Exercise Testing of Muscle Strength in Military [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Strength training has been routinely used in exercise programs of military groups; however, no review has been ever conducted to clarify the selection of exercise tests to monitor its effectiveness.
