The role of muscle forces on rotational and cranio‐caudal stability in the intact and CCL‐deficient stifle: An ex vivo biomechanical study

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To investigate the effects of muscle activation on internal tibial rotation and cranio‐caudal translation (CCT) in intact and cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficient stifles. Study design Ex vivo biomechanical study. Animals Eight cadaveric, nonpaired canine stifles.

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.

Blood flow restriction exercise during microgravity exposure in parabolic flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report evaluates whether it is possible to perform blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise during exposure to microgravity. The objectives were three‐fold: (1) to determine if a personalised tourniquet system (PTS) hardware technology performs nominally and enables BFR exercise in microgravity; (2) to determine if BFR augments the ...

Translational perspectives on neurophysiological responses and mechanisms in blood flow restriction exercise

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Maintaining corticospinal tract function is crucial for voluntary movement. Exercise using high external loads/intensities is a promising intervention to promote adaptations to the corticospinal tract and improve physical function; however, such loads/intensities may not be tolerable or safe in populations with neurological disorders, motor ...

Quantifying skin microvascular function responses to distinct forms of heat stress in humans using optical coherence tomography

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...
