Facilitation At Neuromuscular Junctions in Crayfish Deep Abdominal Extensor Muscles
… Facilitation was investigated in the deep extensor muscles of the crayfish. The posterior branches of the motor nerve to these muscles were stimulated while intracellular recordings were made of the electrical responses of the muscle fibers. The excitatory junction potentials (ejp's) of the …

Predictors of Knee Extensor Strength in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
… PURPOSE: To determine predictors of knee extensor strength in COPD patients. METHODS: Knee extensor strength was measured in 21 COPD patients using an isokinetic Kin-Com dynamometer at a speed of 60° per second. Pulmonary function testing was performed using a Medical Graphics Corporation …

Effects of Lumbar Extensor Fatigue on Ankle Joint Motion Sense and Prolonged Effect on Postural Sway
… often the result of a loss of balance. Lumbar extensor fatigue (LEF) increases postural sway which has been associated with degradations in balance. Study one focuses on the effects of fatiguing time and fatigue level on the duration of these increases in postural sway. Measures of postural …
