The Effect of Quadriceps Fatigue of Repeated Isometric Contractions on Knee Passive Stiffness
PurposeFatigue has a potential effect on knee stiffness reduction. Quadriceps fatigue intervention of repeated contractions is one traditional type...
-
The Responses of Continuous Knee Passive Stiffness Following Fatigue
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate continuous knee passive stiffness and its fatigue responses. Knee osteoarthritis is a clinically...

Association of the rate of torque development and joint angle with passive muscle stiffness
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to statistically compare the rate of torque development normalized by maximal strength (relative RTD) across...
-
Tendon length estimates are influenced by tracking location
PurposeMeasurement of medial gastrocnemius (MG) tendon length using ultrasonography (US) requires the muscle–tendon junction (MTJ) to be located....

Effects of long-term athletic training on muscle morphology and tendon stiffness in preadolescence: association with jump performance
PurposeEvidence on training-induced muscle hypertrophy during preadolescence is limited and inconsistent. Possible associations of muscle strength...
-
Adolescent boys who participate in sports exhibit similar ramp torque control with young men despite differences in strength and tendon characteristics
PurposeThe goal of this paper was to determine if sports participation influences torque control differently for adolescent boys and young men during...

The interaction between muscle pathophysiology, body mass, walking speed and ankle foot orthosis stiffness on walking energy cost: a predictive simulation study
BackgroundThe stiffness of a dorsal leaf AFO that minimizes walking energy cost in people with plantarflexor weakness varies between individuals....
-
Increasing Vascular Response to Injury Improves Tendon Early Healing Outcome in Aged Rats
Tendon injuries positively correlate with patient age, as aging has significant effects on tendon homeostatic maintenance and healing potential after...
