Leg stiffness and electromyography of knee extensors/flexors: comparison between older and younger adults during stair descent.
This study investigated differences in knee extensor/flexor electromyography (EMG), leg loading rate, and leg stiffness in older and younger men during stair descent. Sixteen older men (mean +/- standard deviation [SD] = 72 +/- 4.5 years) and sixteen younger men (mean +/- SD = 21.2 +/- 0.5 years) were recruited. The EMG signals were recorded from the rectus femoris and the biceps femoris, while...
متن کاملAnteroposterior Knee Stability During Stair Descent.
This study examined the influence of tibio-femoral conformity on anteroposterior (AP) knee stability during stair descent, particularly with a dished cruciate sacrificing (CS) design. A joint simulator simulated stair descent of cadaveric knees. Tibio-femoral displacement was measured. Knees were tested in intact, ACL-deficient, and TKA with cruciate-retaining (CR), CS and posterior-stabilizing...
متن کاملLeg Strength Comparison between Younger and Middle-age Adults.
Although a risk of occupational musculoskeletal diseases has been identified with age-related strength degradation, strength measures from working group are somewhat sparse. This is especially true for the lower extremity strength measures in dynamic conditions (i.e., isokinetic). The objective of this study was to quantify the lower extremity muscle strength characteristics of three age groups...
متن کاملA Comparison of Vowel Acoustics Between Older and Younger Adults
Previous research has shown a difference in vowel acoustics between older and younger adults, possibly related to age-related changes in vocal tract morphology. Data suggest that vowel acoustics may vary as a function of neighborhood density and word frequency in older adults, possibly due to the mediating influence of lexical access. However, no studies have examined the relationship of densit...
متن کاملMotor Learning and Movement Performance: Older versus Younger Adults
Introduction: Motor skills play an important role during life span, and older adults need to learn or relearn these skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate how aging affects induction of improved movement performance by motor training. Methods: Serial Reaction Time Test (SRTT) was used to assess movement performance during 8 blocks of motor training. Participants were tested i...
