Whole-Body Vibration and Its Effects on Electromechanical Delay and Vertical Jump Performance
… determine the effects of whole-body vibration on electromechanical delay and vertical jump performance. Twenty college aged subjects participated in 10 intervals of whole-body vibration (WBV) at a frequency of 26 Hz and amplitude of 5 mm. Each interval consisted of 60 s of WBV in a half-squat …

Skeletal Muscle Response During the Isometric Phase of an Unrestricted Isotonic Contraction (Electromyography, Electromechanical Delay)
… the degree of elastic lengthening during the electromechanical delay (EMD). It was subsequently used to determine elastic recoil contributions to the concentric contraction phase using a statistical model. The model was based upon the anatomical, physiological and mechanical relationships of …

Effects of Neuromuscular Training on the Dynamic Restraint Characteristics of the Ankle
… influence of a 6-week training program on the electromechanical delay (EMD) and reaction time of the peroneus longus muscle.</p> <p><strong>Design and Setting:</strong> The study was guided by a 2 x 2 factorial design with repeated measures on the time factor. The independent variables for this …

Tendon reflex protocol for exploring the mechanisms associated with whole body vibration
… show no significant change in reflex latency, electromechanical delay, EMG magnitude, nor force output from the foot. These results agree with other published studies [8]. The methods and instrumentation introduced in this project will be used in more comprehensive studies to assess the effect …

The effects of orally administered collagen supplementation on muscle and tendon mechanics in healthy and active young adults
… fascicle architecture) and function (strength, electromechanical delay and rate of moment development). Results: Thirty-seven participants completed the intervention (Osteoarthritis product: n=13, Active Gold Collagen®: n=12, Placebo: n=12). For the completing participants, no significant …

The reality of myoelectric prostheses : how do EMG skill, unpredictability of prosthesis response, and delays impact on user functionality and everyday prosthesis use?
… between the electrodes and the skin, and (3) the electromechanical delay in the prosthesis, on user performance, quantified in terms of: (1) functionality (kinematic and gaze), and (2), for the first time, everyday prosthesis use. Chapter 1 introduces the thesis, followed by Chapter 2, which …

Target eccentricity effects for defensive responses
… time, peak velocity, head excursion and the electromechanical delay for yaw head rotations (chapter 3). We found an increase in RT and premotor RT for yaw head rotations with large increases in visual field target eccentricity and involving incongruent responses observed in the AWAY …

Data driven modeling and MPC Based control for Pathological Tremors
… using EMG signals, leveraging the 20- 100 ms of Electromechanical Delay. The kinematics and EMG data of a publicly available Parkinson's tremor dataset is first analyzed, which confirms that the underlying EMGs have similar frequency composition as the actual tremor. 2 hybrid CNN-LSTM based deep …

EFFECTS OF PASSIVE STATIC STRETCHING ON MECHANICAL, NEUROMUSCULAR, AND CARDIOVASCULAR FUNCTION
Passive static stretching (PSS) induces neuromuscular and vascular adaptations through both mechanical and neural mechanisms, influencing range of motion, muscle strength, and vascular health. While previous research has primarily focused on individual muscles or muscle chains, the regional …
