Knee and Hip Joint Kinematics Predict Quadriceps and Hamstrings Neuromuscular Activation Patterns in Drop Jump Landings. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
PURPOSE:The purpose was to assess if variation in sagittal plane landing kinematics is associated with variation in neuromuscular activation patterns of the quadriceps-hamstrings muscle groups during drop vertical jumps (DVJ).

Expanding the Phenotype of TUFM‐Related Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency 4

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 4 (COXPD4) is a rare mitochondrial condition caused by biallelic deleterious variants in the nuclear‐encoded gene TUFM. To date, most individuals with COXPD4 have presented with encephalopathy, hypotonia, and abnormal brain imaging. Many of the reported individuals died in infancy. We aim to expand

Evaluation of quantitative muscle MRI and an intelligent phenotyping housing system as advanced phenotyping methods in a mouse model of calpain 3‐deficient muscular dystrophy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We applied quantitative MRI of the lower limb and automated home‐cage phenotyping to a mouse model of calpainopathy to detect early disease changes. At 15 months, calpain 3‐deficient mice showed increased water T2 values correlating with immune cell infiltration in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, while assessment of motor activity revealed only ...

Quadriceps Muscle Mechanical Simulator for Training of Vastus Medialis Obliquus and Vastus Lateralis Obliquus Mechanical Properties

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2014
Objectives: In classical anatomy quadriceps muscle has four heads. Clinical studies have demostrated 6 heads of this muscle. These heads were demostrated seperately not only by their functional properties,but also by innervation and kinesiological ...

The Dynamics of Neurofilament Light Chain in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Newborn screening (NBS) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) facilitates early diagnosis and treatment for affected individuals. However, fluid biomarkers that provide early insights into disease activity and outcomes in a neonatal cohort and those unable to access (due to reimbursement criteria) or deferring immediate treatment are lacking ...

Lower Satisfaction and Inferior Outcomes Associated With Delayed Surgery for Chronic Quadriceps Tendon Ruptures: A Systematic Review

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the literature regarding the efficacy of various repair and reconstruction surgical techniques for chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures (QTRs) in native knees and to assess their associated outcomes. Methods A comprehensive literature search of the EMBASE, PubMed/MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases was conducted from October 2023 to ...

Technique for Lateral Opening Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy Using Patient‐Specific Instrumentation for Genu Valgum and Patellar Instability

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent lateral patellar instability poses a technical challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. Isolated soft‐tissue procedures through medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction or lateral release show unacceptably high failure rates. Lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy addresses underlying bony malalignment and reinforces the soft ...

EMG profile in two different angles during maximum voluntary isometric contraction in squat exercise [PDF]

Motricidade, 2011
The aim of the present study was to analyze the electric activity of the vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis (VL) in two differing angles (70° and 90° of knee flexion) during maximum voluntary contraction in squat exercise.

Open Lateral Retinacular Lengthening During an “À La Carte” Step‐by‐Step Surgical Approach for Habitual Patellar Dislocation

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitual patellar dislocation is rare and primarily characterized by superolateral soft‐tissue contractures. The surgical approach described focuses on a step‐by‐step, “à la carte”, release of these contractures. The algorithm and technique described here offer a reproducible surgical strategy applicable to both skeletally immature and mature ...
