Effects of Deficits in the Neuromuscular and Mechanical Properties of the Quadriceps and Hamstrings on Single-Leg Hop Performance and Dynamic Knee Stability in Patients After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021
Background: Understanding the role of neuromuscular and mechanical muscle properties in knee functional performance and dynamic knee stability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) may help in the development of more focused ...

An artificial tendon to connect the quadriceps muscle to the Tibia [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 2011
AbstractNo permanent, reliable artificial tendon exists clinically. Our group developed the OrthoCoupler™ device as a versatile connector, fixed at one end to a muscle, and adaptable at the other end to inert implants such as prosthetic bones or to bone anchors.

Developing Metal–Polyphenol Network‐Based Single‐Protein Particle Encapsulation System for Sustained Release of Whey Protein to Mitigate Sarcopenia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sarcopenia has emerged as a major health challenge in the aging population. Developing a sustained‐release system for whey protein may enhance its effectiveness in mitigating sarcopenia. Herein, a novel “single‐protein particle encapsulation” (SPPE) system is developed to protect whey protein and control its release.

New insight in the architecture of the quadriceps tendon

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2016
Background Published data regarding the structure of the quadriceps tendon are diverse. Dissection of the quadriceps muscle group revealed that beside the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and vastus medialis a fifth muscle component ...

An Integrated Fabric‐Pneumatic Soft Sensing System for Multi‐Site Muscle Activity Decoding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabric‐pneumatic chambers convert muscle deformation into pressure signals without electronics at the body‐contact sensing interface. A unified processing pipeline enables static posture classification, continuous elbow‐angle estimation, forearm gesture recognition, and knee‐movement detection across three anatomical sites.

Born this way: Does variation in perinatal limb bone morphology predict adult locomotor repertoire in primates?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates show a high degree of locomotor diversity that engenders similar variance in limb bone cross‐sectional geometry and bending strength: leaping primates have stronger hindlimb bones whereas suspensory species have stronger forelimb bones.

Quadriceps muscle strength of the affected limb in medial meniscus posterior root tears is negatively correlated with the progression of postoperative medial joint space narrowing

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics
Purpose The effect of quadriceps muscle strength on medial joint space (MJS) narrowing after repair for medial meniscus (MM) posterior root tears (MMPRTs) has not yet been determined.

Medial Quadriceps Tendon‐Femoral Ligament Reconstruction Offers Favorable Clinical Outcomes and Low Complication Rates for Recurrent Patellar Instability: A Systematic Review

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the surgical methods, clinical outcomes, and complication profile of patients undergoing medial quadriceps tendon‐femoral ligament reconstruction (MQTFLR), either isolated or as medial patellofemoral complex reconstruction (MPFCR), for recurrent patellar instability.

Which Predicts Quadriceps Muscle Strength in Knee Osteoarthritis: Biological Markers or Clinical Variables?

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2017
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between biological markers and quadriceps muscle strength, the correlation of clinical variables with quadriceps muscle strength, and the results according to the radiological severity in patients

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-
