Ankle mechanical impedance under muscle fatigue
This study reports the effects of ankle muscle fatigue on ankle mechanical impedance. It suggests that decreasing ankle impedance with muscle fatigue may contribute to an increased probability of ankle injury. If confirmed, this observation may have important athletic, military and clinical …

MUSCLE FATIGUE ANALYSIS IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY
… surgeons to excessive ergonomic risks including muscle fatigue that may lead to critical errors in surgical procedures. Therefore, detecting the vulnerable muscles and time-to-fatigue during MIS is of great importance in order to prevent these errors. In this research, different surgical skill …

Efficacy of homoeopathic arnica montana on muscle fatigue
A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy, Technikon Natal, Durban, South Africa, 1996.

Muscle fatigue and other factors influencing forearm muscle activity
The wrist extensor muscles of the forearm exhibit relatively greater muscle activity than the wrist flexors during most hand/wrist tasks. Since the extensors operate at a greater percentage of maximum to balance wrist joint moments, this could contribute to their higher incidence of overuse injury. …

Localized muscle fatigue during isotonic and nonisotonic isometric efforts
… complaints and problems. Research on localized muscle fatigue (LMF) has been viewed as a viable endeavor toward understanding the processes and mechanisms associated with WMSDs. A mounting of evidence on local fatigue during sustained static work has been presented, but much less is known with …

The effect of localized muscle fatigue on tibial impact acceleration.
… running is known to increase with general body fatigue. The purpose of this study was to determine if localized muscle fatigue of the shank muscles would also cause an increase in peak tibial acceleration. The human pendulum system was used to control impact velocity and joint angle. There were …

Impact of neck muscle fatigue on upper limb sensorimotor integration
Neck muscles have a high density of sensory receptors which project to the central nervous system, and have important role in sensory motor integration (SMI). The cerebellum is important for SMI and it is known to undergo neuroplastic changes in response to performing a novel motor acquisition …

Effects of Neck Muscle Fatigue on the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex
… from the cervical spine, caused by neck muscle fatigue, directly influences dynamic visual stability in healthy young and healthy older participants. Results indicated that healthy young and healthy older participants who were fatigued had significantly poorer Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) …

Localized Muscle Fatigue: Theoretical and Practical Aspects in Occupational Environments
Localized muscle fatigue (LMF) is a complex, multifactorial phenomenon that involves exercise-induced decrements in the ability to generate force or power. LMF can adversely affect performance and may increase the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), and is thus of contemporary …

The effect of neck muscle fatigue on shoulder humeral rotation proprioception
Fatigue of the cervical extensor muscles (CEM) is thought to disrupt afferent feedback from postural mechanoreceptors as it has been observed to cause decrements in upper limb proprioceptive accuracy. There has been limited research to quantify this interaction at the shoulder; thus further …

Muscle Fatigue at the End of a Maximal Oxygen Consumption Test
Fatigue is a task dependent multifactorial phenomenon, and the most common tool to analyze it is the VO2max test. The purpose of this study was to investigate if muscle is exhaustively taxed at the end of a VO2max test. This was based on data from sEMG, heart rate, and force applied to the pedals …

The effect of prior localized muscle fatigue on lactate production during submaximal exercise
Muscle fatigue is a complex phenomena that involves both metabolic and neural factors. The present study examined the prolonged effects of localized muscle fatigue on lactate production during exercise. Five subjects, 3 females and 2 males, ages 25-29 (x = 27 {dollar}\pm{dollar} 1) participated in …

The Effect of Cervical Muscle Fatigue on Postural Stability during Immersion Virtual Reality
… how motion sensitivity is impacted by neck muscle fatigue in normal healthy participants. The overall aim of the present work was to investigate whether impaired somatosensory information from the cervical spine, caused by neck muscle fatigue, would negatively impact postural stability in …

Exploring subjective and objective localized muscle fatigue responses at recommended upper limb ergonomics limits
Localized muscle fatigue (LMF) has been associated with numerous negative outcomes, including a reduction in task performance and development of musculoskeletal injury. Thus, the quantification of LMF development in response to occupational task demands has become a major focus in the ergonomics …

Quantification of muscle fatigue in cerebal palsy and its relationship to impairments and function
… were designed to explore the measurement of muscle fatigue in people with cerebral palsy (CP). The four aims were to 1) develop a feasible and reliable isokinetic protocol to assess muscle fatigue of the knee flexors and extensors in this population, 2) determine if muscle fatigue of the knee …

Contributions of Muscle Fatigue to a Neuromuscular Neck Injury in Female Standard Ballroom Dancers
… of loss of neck control have a greater amount of fatigue than those with no history of this particular injury. <strong>Design and Setting:</strong> A 2 x 6 factorial design was used for this investigation. The independent variables were group (injured vs. non-injured) and time (before and after …

Effect of rotator cuff muscle fatigue on shoulder muscle activation and posture during driving
Rotator cuff (RC) muscle dysfunction impacts the ability to perform daily functional tasks, such as driving. It has been suggested that RC muscle fatigue can mimic rotator cuff tears (RCT) during sudden steering in terms of kinematics. It has also been found that two RC muscles (infraspinatus and …

Nitrate supplementation does not alter the V̇O2p SC-muscle fatigue relationship in recreationally active men
… to the linear V̇O2p slow component (V̇O2p SC)-muscle fatigue development relationship using dietary nitrate (NO3- ) supplementation during very heavy (VH)-intensity constant-work rate cycling exercise. Using a double- blind, block-randomised, crossover design, 8 healthy men (age, 24±2 yr …
