Computerized Kymograph for Muscle Contraction Measurement Using Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Kymograph is a device to record the magnitude of physiological variables, such as: muscle contraction. However, we observe some lacks of the conventional kymographs, such as: result’s visualisation and accuracy. Hence, we propose a computerized-kymograph which can automatically measure, record, and display graphical data of muscle contraction on the computer by using ultrasonic distance sensor....
متن کاملIn-Vivo Measurement of Muscle Tension: Dynamic Properties of the MC Sensor during Isometric Muscle Contraction
Skeletal muscle is the largest tissue structure in our body and plays an essential role for producing motion through integrated action with bones, tendons, ligaments and joints, for stabilizing body position, for generation of heat through cell respiration and for blood glucose disposal. A key function of skeletal muscle is force generation. Non-invasive and selective measurement of muscle cont...
متن کاملWater and Muscle Contraction
The interaction between water and the protein of the contractile machinery as well as the tendency of these proteins to form geometrically ordered structures provide a link between water and muscle contraction. Protein osmotic pressure is strictly related to the chemical potential of the contractile proteins, to the stiffness of muscle structures and to the viscosity of the sliding of the thin ...
متن کاملMysteries of muscle contraction.
According to the cross-bridge theory, the steady-state isometric force of a muscle is given by the amount of actin-myosin filament overlap. However, it has been known for more than half a century that steady-state forces depend crucially on contractile history. Here, we examine history-dependent steady-state force production in view of the cross-bridge theory, available experimental evidence, a...
متن کاملConsiderations on muscle contraction.
The independent force generator and the power-stroke cross-bridge model have dominated the thinking on mechanisms of muscular contraction for nearly the past five decades. Here, we review the evolution of the cross-bridge theory from its origins as a two-state model to the current thinking of a multi-state mechanical model that is tightly coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP. Finally, we emphasiz...
