Design of a spring-integrated crutch for ascending stairs
Using conventional underarm or forearm crutches is uncomfortable and awkward. Further, underarm crutches make climbing stairs difficult and unsafe. One may climb stairs with forearm crutches, which do not impede elbow movement, but doing so is fatiguing and requires upper body strength. In 2011, …

A Novel Method and Two Exoskeletons for Whole-arm Gravity Compensation
… A Novel Method and Exoskeletons for Whole-arm Gravity Compensation (Turner, Hull 2020), and includes a novel concept for supporting the weight of a person's arm or robotic linkage. The design is capable of supporting weights held near the hand, and provides support regardless of position. …

Investigation of Rapid Visual Feedback Processing
… activity from shoulder and elbow muscles during the task. When the target always jumped, 97% of participants elicited SLRs within 100 ms of the jump. When the target jump occurred later (less time to respond), reaction times were faster, the onset of the SLR was earlier, and the …

Effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on symptoms associated with eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage
… PEMFT was applied over the bicep brachii of one arm for 30 min, and the other arm received sham treatment, while each subject was lying supine on a massage table. The device was marked A or B; thus, both the investigator and subjects were blinded as to which device was active e-cell™ or sham, and …

Detection of muscle damage by B-mode ultrasonography : relationship between echo intensity and histological changes following injection of bupivacaine to rat hind limb muscles
… of mononuclear cells, into rat hind limb muscles. This study was approved by the Institutional Animal Research Ethics Committee. BPVC (0.5 % of 0.5 ml) or saline (0.9 % NaCl of 0.5 ml) was injected to the tibialis anterior muscle (TA) of 14-19 wk male Wistar rats (n=12). Ultrasound images …

Effect of vibration treatment on symptoms associated with eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage [thesis]
… damage induced by eccentric exercise. Each arm of 15 young men (24 +/- 3.8 yrs) performed 10 sets of 6 maximal eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors separated by 4 weeks in a counterbalanced order. One arm received a 30-minute vibration treatment at 30 minute, 1, 2, 3, and 4 days after …
