Muscle tension and joint mobility.
Even when the muscles surrounding a joint are inactive, they still exert a damping effect on joint mobility, because of the passive elastic tension exerted by the stretched muscle fibres and their connective tissue (Clemmesen, 1951). For example, if the forearm muscles are allowed to relax and the forearm is then shaken violently, the hand will swing loosely at the wrist; however, if the experi...
متن کاملA comparative study on scapular static position between femaleswith and without generalized joint hyper mobility
Background: Generalized joint hyper mobility predisposes some individuals to a wide variety of musculoskeletal complaints. Given the critical role of scapular position in function of shoulder, the aim of this study was to compare scapular position between persons with and without general joint hyper mobility. Methods: By nonprobability sampling 30 hyper mobile persons at average of 22.86 ±2.77...
متن کاملMuscle performance and ankle joint mobility in long-term patients with diabetes
BACKGROUND Long-term patients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy show altered foot biomechanics and abnormal foot loading. This study aimed at assessing muscle performance and ankle mobility in such patients under controlled conditions. METHODS Forty six long-term diabetes patients with (DN) and without (D) peripheral neuropathy, and 21 controls (C) were examined. Lower leg muscle perfor...
متن کاملATP concentrations and muscle tension increase linearly with muscle contraction.
Previous studies have suggested that activation of ATP-sensitive P2X receptors in skeletal muscle play a role in mediating the exercise pressor reflex (Li J and Sinoway LI. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 283: H2636-H2643, 2002). To determine the role ATP plays in this reflex, it is necessary to examine whether muscle interstitial ATP (ATPi) concentrations rise with muscle contraction. Accordin...
متن کاملMuscle Tension and Reflexes in the Earthworm
1. By the use of preparations of earthworm in which the cutaneous receptors have been anesthetized with a solution of M/8 MgCl(2), it is shown that peristalsis can be initiated by tension alone. 2. The receptors of the tension reflex are the intermyal sensory cells of the ventral region of the body wall. 3. It is concluded that Straub obtained the tension reflex because his preparations contain...
