Nintedanib decreases muscle fibrosis and improves muscle function in a murine model of dystrophinopathy [PDF]

, 2018
Duchenne muscle dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness. Dystrophin deficiency induces instability of the sarcolemma during muscle contraction that leads to muscle necrosis and replacement of muscle by ...

Dynamic strength of the quadriceps muscle and sports activity. [PDF]

British Journal of Sports Medicine, 1999
The study objectives were to examine the dynamic strength of the quadriceps muscle in athletes, and investigate its association with participation in sport. The study comprised 168 active competitive non-pregnant athletes, aged 14-24 years. The dynamic strength of their quadriceps muscle was measured, and they answered a questionnaire about sports ...

Effects of whole-body vibration on quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled study

Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy, 2021
Background Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) enormously affects the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. It causes weakness in the affected lower-extremity muscles in addition to muscle imbalance and inadequate power production, especially in the ankle plantar-

Effect of exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia on quadriceps muscle fatigue in healthy humans [PDF]

, 2006
The effect of exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH) on quadriceps muscle fatigue was assessed in 11 male endurance-trained subjects [peak O2 uptake (V̇o2 peak) = 56.4 ± 2.8 ml·kg−1·min−1; mean ± SE]. Subjects exercised on a cycle ergometer at ≥90% V̇

Quadriceps muscle injury in trans-femoral amputees [PDF]

Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1998
Two male trans-femoral amputees using modular trans-femoral prostheses lost control and fell to the ground when their prosthetic knees gave way. The semi-automatic knee lock malfunctioned in the first case while the free knee stabilising mechanics gave way in the second case.
