Muscle Fatigue and Muscle Injury

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2000
The purpose of this review is to acquaint the reader with the neurobiology of muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue is a complex, multifactorial process. The authors have covered the chain of events bringing about skeletal muscle contraction and the manner in which fatigue may affect each step.

Sheath-run artificial muscles

Science, 2019
Getting the most out of muscles Materials that convert electrical, chemical, or thermal energy into a shape change can be used to form artificial muscles. Such materials include bimetallic strips or host-guest materials or coiled fibers or yarns (see the

Muscle ultrasound in hereditary muscle disease

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2022
In this review we summarise the key techniques of muscle ultrasound as they apply to hereditary muscle disease. We review the diagnostic utility of muscle ultrasound including its role in guiding electromyography and muscle biopsy sampling. We summarize the different patterns of sonographic muscle involvement in the major categories of genetic muscle ...

Muscle-nerve-muscle neurotization of the orbicularis oris muscle

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001
A denervated half of the orbicularis oris muscle is not reinnervated spontaneously by axon sprouting from the intact contralateral side. The borderline between the facial nerve territories seems to act as a barrier. The muscle-nerve-muscle technique was advocated as a technique to reneurotize a denervated half of the orbicularis oris muscle in cases of

Age-associated changes in skeletal muscles and their effect on mobility: an operational diagnosis of sarcopenia.

Journal of applied physiology, 2003
Sarcopenia, the reduction of muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging, is widely considered one of the major causes of disability in older persons.

Advances in dielectric elastomers for actuators and artificial muscles.

Macromolecular rapid communications, 2010
A number of materials have been explored for their use as artificial muscles. Among these, dielectric elastomers (DEs) appear to provide the best combination of properties for true muscle-like actuation.

Muscle conditioning and muscle injuries

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1990
Empirical and objective data suggest that muscle and connective tissue can undergo adaptations to physical training resulting in greater tissue mass and increased maximum tensile strength. These adaptations are especially apparent as a result of load bearing and resistive training.

Measurement and modeling of McKibben pneumatic artificial muscles

IEEE Trans. Robotics Autom., 1996
This paper reports mechanical testing the modeling results for the McKibben artificial muscle pneumatic actuator. This device contains an expanding tube surrounded by braided cords. We report static and dynamic length-tension testing results and derive a
