Excitability changes in the sciatic nerve and triceps surae muscle after spinal cord injury in mice [PDF]
, 2010 Background From the onset to the chronic phase of spinal cord injury (SCI), peripheral axons and muscles are subjected to abnormal states of activity. This starts with very intense spasms during the first instant of SCI, through a no activity flaccidity ...

Effect of frequency of static stretching on flexibility, hamstring tightness and electromyographic activity [PDF]
, 2009 We compared the effect of the number of weekly repetitions of a static stretching program on the flexibility, hamstring tightness and electromyographic activity of the hamstring and of the triceps surae muscles. Thirty-one healthy subjects with hamstring

Repetitive hops induce postactivation potentiation in triceps surae as well as an increase in the jump height of subsequent maximal drop jumps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Postactivation potentiation (PAP) has been defined as the increase in twitch torque after a conditioning contraction. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of hops as conditioning contractions to induce PAP and increase performance in ...

Effects of Kinesiotape taping on plantar pressure and impact acceleration during walking [PDF]
, 2014 Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse the plantar pressure pattern, contact time, stride rate and impact acceleration in the shank during walking with and without Kinesio Tape (KT®) placed on two muscle groups: Peroneus and Triceps surae ...

Sensorimotor processing for balance in spinocerebellar ataxia type 6. [PDF]
, 2015 We investigated whether balance impairments caused by cerebellar disease are associated with specific sensorimotor processing deficits that generalize across all sensory modalities.

Is the Soleus a Sentinel Muscle for Impaired Aerobic Capacity in Heart Failure? [PDF]
, 2015 Purpose: Skeletal muscle wasting is well documented in chronic heart failure (CHF). This article provides a more detailed understanding of the morphology behind this muscle wasting and the relation between muscle morphology, strength, and exercise ...
