Lower limb strength in sports-active transtibial amputees.

30 Aug 2009 The aim of this study was to compare hip strength in sports-active transtibial (TT) amputees, sedentary TT amputees and sports-active non-amputees. Three 'active' (exercising recreationally at least three times per week) TT amputees, four 'inactive' ... Read more...

Intratester reliability and validity of concentric measurements using a new hand-held dynamometer.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To assess the reliability of a new hand-held dynamometer (HHD) to perform concentric measurements, and to determine the agreement between the HHD and the criterion standard isokinetic dynamometer. DESIGN: Elbow flexion concentric ... Read more...

Fatigue-related changes in fascicle-tendon geometry over repeated contractions: difference between synergist muscles.

30 Aug 2009 Fatigue-induced changes in force production of synergist muscles were evaluated through observation of fascicle-tendon geometry and electromyography (EMG). Seven subjects performed 60 maximal isometric plantar flexions intermittently. No ... Read more...
