Performance of plantar flexor muscles with eccentric and isometric contractions in intact rats.
PURPOSE To examine the changes in performance of active plantar flexor muscles of rats by controlled dorsiflexion (i.e., stretching of muscles) at two angular velocities. METHODS Repeated stretches (30) at two velocities of ankle rotation [slow stretch (0.87 rads x s(-1) (i.e., 50 degrees x (s-1))), fast stretch (10.47 rad x s(-1) (i.e., 600 degrees x s-1))] were superimposed on maximally act...
متن کاملConcentric plantar flexor torque deficits in female athletes with functional ankle instability
After an ankle injury, residual symptoms can followed to recurrent sprain in physical activity and 30% of its lead to functional ankle instability (FAI) Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the isokinetic concentric and eccentric torque measures of the ankle musculature to body weight in female athletes with and without FAI.30 female athletes, who play in pro league of Tehran, p...
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 کاملIncreased central common drive to ankle plantar flexor and dorsiflexor muscles during visually guided gait
When we walk in a challenging environment, we use visual information to modify our gait and place our feet carefully on the ground. Here, we explored how central common drive to ankle muscles changes in relation to visually guided foot placement. Sixteen healthy adults aged 23 ± 5 years participated in the study. Electromyography (EMG) from the Soleus (Sol), medial Gastrocnemius (MG), and the d...
