Short range stiffness elastic limit depends on joint velocity.
Muscles behave as elastic springs during the initial strain phase, indicated as short range stiffness (SRS). Beyond a certain amount of strain the muscle demonstrates a more viscous behavior. The strain at which the muscle transits from elastic- to viscous-like behavior is called the elastic limit and is believed to be the result of breakage of cross-bridges between the contractile filaments. T...
متن کاملParkinsonian Rigidity Depends on the Velocity of Passive Joint Movement.
Background. It has been long believed that Parkinsonian rigidity is not velocity-dependent based on the neurological examination. However, this has not been verified scientifically. Methods. The elbow joints of 20 Parkinson's disease patients were passively flexed and extended, and two characteristic values, the elastic coefficient (elasticity) and the difference in bias (difference in torque m...
متن کاملEffect of passive stretching and jogging on the series elastic muscle stiffness and range of motion of the ankle joint.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of stretching and jogging on the series elastic muscle stiffness of the plantar flexors and on the range of dorsiflexion at the ankle joint. METHODS 24 healthy subjects participated in this study. Each subject undertook all of the following protocols, in random order: (1) stretching protocol: five 30 s static stretches with 30 s rest between stretches; (2) ae...
متن کاملModeling short-range stiffness of feline lower hindlimb muscles.
The short-range stiffness (SRS) of skeletal muscles is a critical property for understanding muscle contributions to limb stability, since it represents a muscle's capacity to resist external perturbations before reflexes or voluntary actions can intervene. A number of studies have demonstrated that a simple model, consisting of a force-dependent active stiffness connected in series with a cons...
متن کاملThe short range stiffness of active mammalian muscle.
1. The tension in tetanized cat soleus and lateral gastrocnemius muscles was measured during alternating lengthening and shortening movements. Sinusoidal movements were sometimes used; on other occasions the movement was at a constant velocity but with periodic reversal of direction.2. With constant velocity movements of small amplitude the tension rose steeply during lengthening and fell durin...
