Muscle Synergy Alteration of Human During Walking With Lower Limb Exoskeleton

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Muscle synergy reflects inherent coordination patterns of muscle groups as the human body finishes required movements. It may be still unknown whether the original muscle synergy of subjects may alter or not when exoskeletons are put on during their ...

The interaction between the vastus medialis and vastus intermedius and its influence on the extensor apparatus of the knee joint [PDF]

, 2017
Although the vastus medialis (VM) is closely associated with the vastus intermedius (VI), there is a lack of data regarding their functional relationship.

Immediate effect of anti-pronation foot taping on myoelectric activity of knee muscles in patellofemoral pain syndrome: a randomised controlled trial

Physiotherapy Quarterly
Introduction There is lack of studies on the effect of anti-pronation foot taping on the myoelectric activity of knee muscles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of anti-pronation foot taping on the myoelectric activity of ...

PREFERENTIAL VASTUS MEDIALIS OBLIQUE ACTIVATION ACHIEVED AS A TREATMENT FOR KNEE DISORDERS

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2005
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of an open-stance cycling protocol (OSCP) with the traditional cycling foot position (TCFP) for preferential vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle activation, measured by surface electromyography (SEMG), and preferential VMO activation as defined by achieving significantly increased VMO/VL (vastus ...

Surface EMG amplitude does not identify differences in neural drive to synergistic muscles [PDF]

, 2018
Surface electromyographic (EMG) signal amplitude is typically used to compare the neural drive to muscles. We experimentally investigated this association by studying the motor unit (MU) behavior and action potentials in the vastus medialis (VM) and ...

Stiffness of individual quadriceps muscle assessed using ultrasound shear wave elastography during passive stretching

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2018
Background: Until recently it has not been possible to isolate the mechanical behavior of individual muscles during passive stretching. Muscle shear modulus (an index of muscle stiffness) measured using ultrasound shear wave elastography can be used to ...

Ultrasound-Guided Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Blocks for Repair of Tibia and Fibula Fractures in a Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) [PDF]

, 2016
Locoregional anesthetic techniques may be a very useful tool for the anesthetic management of wallabies with injuries of the pelvic limbs and may help to prevent capture myopathies resulting from stress and systemic opioids’ administration.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Double Limbed Rectus Femoris Autograft

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is routinely performed when conservative treatment fails and patients present with recurrent patellar dislocations. Most described techniques require fixation or some type of bony procedure on the patella.

Experimental Brain Research / The difficulty of the postural control task affects multi-muscle control during quiet standing [PDF]

, 2016
The aim of this study was to compare the electromyographic (EMG) coherence between the lower limb and the core muscles when carrying out two postural tasks at different difficulty levels.
