Impaired gait function in adults with cerebral palsy is associated with reduced rapid force generation and increased passive stiffness.
OBJECTIVE It is still not clarified whether spasticity contributes to impairments of gait function. Here we compared biomechanical measures of muscle weakness and stiffness of ankle muscles to impairments of gait function in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS Twenty-four adults with CP (mean age 34.3, range 18-57 years) and fifteen healthy age-matched controls were biomechanically measu...

متن کاملForce Generation in Sprint Running Is Related to Muscle Properties in Male Sprinters
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between muscle properties (MP) and force production (F) during a sprint running acceleration phase in 18 male sprinters (Age: 24.4±4 years; personal best: 10.66±0.5 s). MP (muscle thickness, fascicle length and pennation angle) of the lower limb muscles were measured by B-mode ultrasonography and F was modelled at each instant by derivat...
