Age and gender differences in hip extension and flexion torque steadiness.
BACKGROUND Lower extremity torque steadiness has been shown to be an independent predictor of functional performance in older women. Hip muscle function is crucial for many types of activities of daily living, yet existing studies investigating torque steadiness for lower extremities are limited to assessing steadiness at the knee and ankle. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare ...
متن کاملKnee extension torque during repeated knee extension-flexion reversals and separated knee extension-flexion dyads.
I measured the knee extension torque, produced by eight hemiparetic patients during repeated knee extension-flexion reversals and during separated knee extension-flexion dyads, to determine the effect of "reversal of antagonists" on knee extension torque. The hemiparesis in these eight patients was secondary to intracranial lesions. I tested their involved lower extremity on an isokinetic dynam...
متن کاملDecreased isometric knee flexion torque with hip extension in hemiparetic patients.
I measured the 90-degree isometric knee flexion torque of 12 hemiparetic patients while they performed unilateral knee flexion in sitting and supine positions. The measurements were taken to clarify why hemiparetic patients have difficulty flexing their involved knees when their involved hip is extended. The patients generated more torque in the sitting position than in the supine position and ...
متن کاملGender differences in hip adduction motion and torque during a single-leg agility maneuver.
The purpose of this study was to identify gender differences in hip motion and kinetics during a single leg bidirectional deceleration maneuver. The rationale for the development of this maneuver was to test dynamic hip control during the deceleration of three different types of single-leg landings. The hypothesis was that female athletes would display increased hip adduction angles and moments...
متن کاملRelationship between eccentric hip torque and lower-limb kinematics: gender differences.
The purposes of this study were to compare lower-limb kinematics between genders, and determine the relationships among eccentric hip abductor and lateral rotator torques and lower-limb kinematics. The movements of the pelvis, femur, and knee were calculated for 16 women and 16 men during the single-leg squat. Eccentric hip abductor and lateral rotator torques were measured using an isokinetic ...
