STRENGTH TRAINING AFTER STROKE: EFFECTS ON MUSCLE FUNCTION, GAIT PERFORMANCE AND PERCEIVED PARTICIPATION
… of different tests, assessing isokinetic knee muscle strength and gait performance, was evaluated. In the third study the relationships between isokinetic knee muscle strength, gait performance and perceived participation were analysed. The 50 subjects participating in these studies (mean …

Lower Extremity Muscle Activation Following a Previous Knee Injury: Implications for Post-Traumatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Individuals who sustain an intra-articular knee injury are at a high risk of developing post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis (PTOA) 10-20 years later. Compensatory activation patterns of knee muscles in response to the trauma may persist past the acute injury phase and result in abnormal mechanical …

Role of Transverse Plane Hip Range of Motion and Strength on Pain and Function in Hip Osteoarthritis
… extremity muscle weakness, primarily in the knee muscles, with fewer studies examining muscle strength in hip OA (Arokoski, 2002; Hinman et al., 2010; Pua et al., 2009). The hip’s range of motion (ROM) is decreased, particularly in internal rotation, flexion, and abduction. In hip OA, …

Neuromuscular fatigue following a singles badminton match
… no previous study has investigated changes in knee extensor muscle function after a badminton match.The present study investigated changes in knee extensor neuromuscular function and muscle soreness after a simulated 1-h badminton singles match in relation to the number of lunges performed in …

Mechanisms affecting post-activation potentiation following voluntary isokinetic knee extension
… why this occurs. Therefore, in Study 2 peak knee extensor torque at 60o·s-1, quadriceps and VL crosssectional area (CSA) and volume, and the type II myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform percentage (VL) were measured to determine their relative contribution to PAP elicited under voluntary …

Peak isokinetic torque of knee flexors and extensor muscles of college football players
<p>The problem of the study addressed knee injuries in college football. Imbalance of the musculature surrounding the knee would predispose the athlete to knee injury. Recognition of those who have muscular deficiencies would be a primary way of preventing knee injuries. The focus of the study was …
