Quadriceps and hamstrings muscle dysfunction after total knee arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND/RATIONALE Although TKA reliably reduces pain from knee osteoarthritis, full recovery of muscle strength and physical function to normal levels is rare. We presumed that a better understanding of acute changes in hamstrings and quadriceps muscle performance would allow us to enhance early rehabilitation after TKA and improve long-term function. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purposes of thi...
متن کاملA comparison of muscle stiffness and musculoarticular stiffness of the knee joint in young athletic males and females.
The objective of this study was to investigate the gender-specific differences in peak torque (PT), muscle stiffness (MS) and musculoarticular stiffness (MAS) of the knee joints in a young active population. Twenty-two male and twenty-two female recreational athletes participated. PT of the knee joint extensor musculature was assessed on an isokinetic dynamometer, MS of the vastus lateralis (VL...
متن کاملEffect of local fatigue of quadriceps and hamstrings on knee joint proprioception in healthy women
Abstract Objective: proprioception is part of the body's sensory system who is responsible for collecting information for the central nervous system to inform about the status of different parts of the body relative to each other Fatigue can causes disorder in the proprioception. In this research, the effect of quadriceps and hamstrings muscles fatigue on knee proprioceptive function in healt...
متن کاملEffect of quadriceps and hamstrings muscle cooling on standing balance in healthy young men
OBJECTIVE The present study compared the effect of quadriceps and hamstring muscle cooling on standing balance in healthy young men. METHODS Thirty healthy young men (18-30 years) participated in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to three groups (n=10 each): quadriceps cooling (QC), hamstring cooling (HC), or control group (no cooling). Participants in the QC and HC groups re...
متن کاملQuadriceps and hamstrings fatigue alters hip and knee mechanics.
Neuromuscular fatigue exacerbates abnormal landing strategies, which may increase noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. The synergistic actions of quadriceps and hamstrings (QH) muscles are central to an upright landing posture, though the precise effect of simultaneous fatigue of these muscles on landing and ACL injury risk is unclear. Elucidating neuromechanical responses t...
