Comparison of ankle plantar flexor activity between double-leg heel raise and walking
[Purpose] We aimed to evaluate the difference in the muscle activity between the double-leg heel raise (DHR) and treadmill walking. [Subjects] Thirty healthy males aged 21.5 ± 1.6 years (body mass 63.6 ± 9.3 kg, height 171.0 ± 4.5 cm) participated in the study. [Methods] Electromyograms were simultaneously recorded from both heads of the gastrocnemius and the soleus of the right side during the...
متن کاملThe role of ankle plantar flexor muscle work during walking.
Impaired ankle plantar flexor (APF) function is a frequent cause of gait limitations, but the role of the APF in the forward propulsion of the body remains controversial. To better understand both the direct and indirect effects of the APF during push-off and through advancement of the leg, mechanical work and inverse dynamic analyses were performed on 8 normal subjects during level walking. Du...
متن کاملRelationship between Ankle Plantar Flexor Power and Emg Muscle Activity during Gait
It is thought that the ankle power (A2) burst observed in human gait is solely generated by rapid concentric contraction of the ankle plantar flexors. Recent work, however, suggests that the return of elastic energy may play a role. This study investigated the temporal relationship between the maximum electromyographic activity (EMG) of the ankle plantar flexors and A2. The natural gait of eigh...
متن کاملAnkle Plantar-flexor Power in Human Gait
In human gait the majority of mechanical work is generated by the ankle joint. It is commonly thought that concentric contraction of the ankle plantar flexors is the mechanism behind A2 power generation. This study investigated the relationship between the EMG activity of the ankle plantar flexor muscles and A2 power generation. The gait patterns of six healthy adults were recorded. The followi...
متن کاملLower Leg Girth and Ankle Plantar-Flexor Endurance After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Objective: To determine the relationship between asymmetries in lower leg girth and standing heel-rise after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Design: Single-group posttest. Participants: 15 at a mean of 30 d after ACL reconstruction. Measurements: Lower leg girth and number of repetitions performed on the standing heel-rise test. Results: A significant decrease in lower leg girt...
