Sarcomere number regulation maintained after immobilization in desmin-null mouse skeletal muscle.

The serial sarcomere number of skeletal muscle changes in response to chronic length perturbation. The role of the intermediate filament desmin in regulating these changes was investigated by comparing the architectural adaptations of the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus from wild-type mice with those of homozygous desmin knockout mice after hindlimb immobilization....

The Comparison of Isokinetic Parameters of Hip and Knee Joint Muscles in Professional Soccer Players with Athletic Groin Pain and Healthy One: Implications for Sports Injuries Prevention

Aims and background: This study aimed to investigate the comparison of isokinetic parameters of hip and knee joint muscles in professional soccer players with athletic groin pain (AGP) and healthy ones.

The Effect of Kinesio Taping on Electromyography Activity and Co-Contraction of knee Muscles in People with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome during climbing and descending stairs

Introduction and aim: Ascending and descending stairs are one of the challenging activities for people with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Kinesiotype is one of the rehabilitation methods to improve the symptoms of patellofemoral pain syndrome.  This study aimed to evaluate the effect of kinesiotype on electromyographic activity and co-contraction of knee muscles in patients with patellofemoral ...
