The effect of muscle fatigue on the last stride before stepping down a curb [PDF]

, 2013
The stride before landing may be important during stepping down. The aim of this study was to analyze variability of the kinematics and muscle activity in the final stride before stepping down a curb, with and without ankle and knee muscle fatigue.

Task Dependent Motor Strategy of Human Triceps Surae Muscle

Journal of the Japanese Physical Therapy Association, 2004
Even though many investigators have analyzed the functional difference of the three heads of triceps surae in human, none of them succeeded to clarify the distinctive functional difference of those three muscles. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the integrated EMGs (IEMGs) of the triceps surae muscle, gastrocnemius and soleus, were task

Postural analysis of children with muscle retraction after six-month exercise or heel cup interventions in a randomized trial

Scientific Reports
Balance and proprioception are crucial in children, especially in sports. The ankle joint plays a key role in postural control, and triceps surae retraction is common in active children.

Calf muscle functional deficit 1-year after Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery

Social Welfare: Interdisciplinary Approach, 2016
The primary muscles responsible for plantar flexion movement are soleus and gastrocnemius which connects to the calcaneus by the Achilles tendon. Achilles tendon rupture is managed most often with open surgical repair in which the affected limb is ...

Benefits of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for spastic subjects : clinical, functional and biomechanical parameters for lower limb and walking in five hemiparetic patients [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction. Spasticity is a disabling symptom resulting from reorganization of spinal reflexes no longer inhibited by supraspinal control. Several studies have demonstrated interest in repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in spastic patients ...

Motor unit types of cat triceps surae muscle

The Journal of Physiology, 1967
1. Motor units, defined as including a motoneurone (cell body, dendrites and axon) plus the muscle unit innervated, have been examined in the triceps surae motor pool of pentobarbital anaesthetized cats.2. The technique of intracellular stimulation and recording which was used permitted measurement of the axonal conduction velocity, post‐spike ...

Does Obesity Affect the Rate of Force Development in Plantar Flexor Muscles among Older Adults?

Sports
The literature offers limited information on the effect of obesity on the rate of force development (RFD), a critical parameter for mobility in older adults. The objectives of this study were to explore the influence of obesity on the RFD in older adults

Effects of releasing ankle joint during electrically evoked cycling in persons with motor complete spinal cord injury

Scientific Reports
Literature has shown that simulated power production during conventional functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling was improved by 14% by releasing the ankle joint from a fixed ankle setup and with the stimulation of the tibialis anterior and ...
