Quantitative Assessment of Muscle Fatigue for FES Research Studies

Background: Muscle fatigue is an important issue in neuromuscular rehabilitation. Better control of this phenomenon would result in better prevention of its consequent physiological damages.Objective: To provide a mathematical representation of muscle fatigue as a function of time.Methods: We conducted this study by combining the EMG-based estimation methods of muscle activation with the availa...

Quantitative Methods in Psychological Aging Research: A Mini-Review.

As research on psychological aging moves forward, it is increasingly important to accurately assess longitudinal changes in psychological processes and to account for their (often complex) associations with sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health-related variables. Traditional statistical methods, though time tested and well documented, are not always satisfactory for meeting these aims. In thi...

Mitochondrial DNA and aging.

Among the numerous theories that explain the process of aging, the mitochondrial theory of aging has received the most attention. This theory states that electrons leaking from the ETC (electron transfer chain) reduce molecular oxygen to form O2*- (superoxide anion radicals). O2*-, through both enzymic and non-enzymic reactions, can cause the generation of other ROS (reactive oxygen species). T...
