Calibration of accelerometer output for ambulatory adults with multiple sclerosis.

29 Sep 2009 Motl RW, Snook EM, Agiovlasitis S, Suh Y. Calibration of accelerometer output for ambulatory adults with multiple sclerosis. OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between the rates of accelerometer activity counts and energy expenditure during ... Read more...

T2*-weighted and arterial spin labeling MRI of calf muscles in healthy volunteers and patients with chronic exertional compartment syndrome: preliminary experience.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to assess temporal changes with exercise in T2* and arterial spin labeling signals in patients with chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the anterior compartment of the lower leg and in control subjects ... Read more...

Lower limb influence on standing arm-cranking ('grinding').

15 Sep 2009 Standing arm-cranking ('grinding') is predominantly an upper-body exercise, however, the contribution of the legs to this activity is unknown. The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of normal lower-limb movement on physiological ... Read more...
