Cortical and Spinal Excitability during and after Lengthening Contractions of the Human Plantar Flexor Muscles Performed with Maximal Voluntary Effort
This study was designed to investigate the sites of potential specific modulations in the neural control of lengthening and subsequent isometric maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) versus purely isometric MVCs of the plantar flexor muscles, when there is enhanced torque during and following stretch. Ankle joint torque during maximum voluntary plantar flexion was measured by a dynamometer when...
متن کاملThe effects of plantar-flexor static stretching on perturbation recovery in the elderly
Background It is important to improve the routine ADL(activities of daily living) in the elderly and then diverse and various therapeutic interventions or exercises are applied for the therapy. Generally, to increase the efficiency of the exercise and prevent the injury, the stretching is commonly used [1]. Indeed, there are many case that the elderly complain of the difficulties to control the...
متن کاملEffects of Plantar Flexor Muscle Static Stretching Alone and Combined With Massage on Postural Balance
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the effects of stretching and combined therapy (stretching and massage) on postural balance in people aged 50 to 65 years. METHODS Twenty-three subjects participated in this nonrandomized clinical trial study. Each participant randomly received plantar flexor muscle stretching (3 cycles of 45 seconds with a 30-second recovery period between cycles) alone and ...
