Retention or sacrifice of posterior cruciate ligament has no effect on in vitro kinematics in medial pivot total knee arthroplasty

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The role of the posterior cruciate ligament remains debated, particularly in medial pivot designs intended to functionally substitute the posterior cruciate ligament. While some manufacturers recommend posterior cruciate ligament resection, evidence regarding its biomechanical relevance in medial pivot total knee arthroplasty is ...

New insight in the architecture of the quadriceps tendon

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Does intrauterine crowding affect the force generating capacity and muscle composition of the piglet front limb? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In the pig, intrauterine competition (IUC) greatly affects postnatal traits, such as birth weight, but also locomotor capacities. In a previous study, our group discovered a lower motor performance in piglets with a low birth weight and low vitality (L ...

Rectus femoris tendon morphometry and practical landmarks for harvesting: A cadaveric study

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To perform a qualitative and quantitative cadaveric analysis of the rectus femoris (RF) tendon to determine its suitability as a standalone autograft for knee ligament reconstruction and to identify consistent anatomical landmarks for safe and reproducible harvest.

The Effect of Stump Level on Activity and Fatigability of Knee Extensor Muscles

open access: yesJournal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2018
Introduction: Muscle fatigue is tiredness, in other words, loss of productive capacity of power in response to the activity. The development of fatigue during prolonged exercise may be evaluated by repeated assessments of maximal voluntary force.

Effects of Elevated H\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e And P\u3csub\u3ei\u3c/sub\u3e on The Contractile Mechanics of Skeletal Muscle Fibres From Young and Old Men: Implications for Muscle Fatigue in Humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The present study aimed to identify the mechanisms responsible for the loss in muscle power and increased fatigability with ageing by integrating measures of whole‐muscle function with single fibre contractile mechanics.

Impact of hamstring versus quadriceps tendon graft on thigh muscle strength and surface electromyography activity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare quadriceps tendon (QT) and hamstring tendon (HT) autografts regarding isometric thigh muscle strength, surface electromyography (sEMG) activity and clinical outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Preoperative and postoperative risk factors for arthrogenic muscle inhibition in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A retrospective study

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to identify preoperative and postoperative risk factors associated with the development of arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The hypothesis was that distinct risk factors contribute to the occurrence of preoperative and postoperative AMI ...

Lower Limb Muscle Activation in Fencers: EMG Comparison of Injured vs. Non-Injured Athlete [PDF]

open access: yesBalneo and PRM Research Journal
Lower limb injuries are highly prevalent in fencing and may lead to long-term alterations in neuromuscular control, even after athletes return to training and competition. This study aimed to investigate differences in lower limb muscle activation during
