Functional electrical stimulation on paraplegic patients
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2014 We report on clinical and physiological effects of 8 months Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) of quadriceps femoris muscle on 16 paraplegic patients. Each patient had muscle biopsies, CT-muscle diameter measurements, knee extension strength testing

Selection of body sway parameters according to their sensitivity and repeatability
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2010 For the precise evaluation of body balance, static type of tests performed on a force plate are the most commonly used ones. In these tests, body sway characteristics are analyzed based on the model of inverted pendulum and looking at the center of ...

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015 Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, reducing force generation and mobility in the elderlies. Contributing factors include a severe decrease in both myofiber size and number as well as a decrease in the number of motor neurons ...

Physical Variables in the Olfactory Stimulation Process [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1963 Electrical recording from small twigs of nerve in a tortoise showed that olfactory, vomeronasal, and trigeminal receptors in the nose are responsive to various odorants. No one kind of receptor was most sensitive to all odorants. For controlled stimulation, odorant was caused to appear in a stream of gas already flowing through the nose.

Mobility test protocols for the elderly: a methodological note
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015 Consequences of falls are a major health problem in elderly. Poor balance is the precursor of falls and balance impairment has been evidenced after an injury. On the other hand, balance and stability can be improved with training. At the beginning of the

Strength training in elderly people improves static balance: a randomized controlled trial
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2013 Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two different types of strength training programs on static balance in elderly subjects. Subjects older than 65 years of age were enrolled and assigned to control group (CG, n =19), electrical ...
