چکیده مقاله:

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of voluntary and electrically stimulated quadriceps muscle fatigue on postural control. Methods: Sixteen healthy young males participated in this quasi-experimental study. All subjects performed two fatiguing exercises with equal intensity of isometric maximal voluntary contraction: Voluntary (VOL) and Electrical Stimulation (ES). The Centre of Pressure (CoP) displacement in the VOL and ES exercises were measured before and after conducting each protocol. The CoP displacement variables were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA in SPSS. The Newman-Keuls post hoc test was used to determine the mean score differences.  Results: The VOL and ES fatiguing exercises had significant effects on mean scores of sway area, mean velocity, anteroposterior, and mediolateral displacements. There was a significant difference between VOL and ES fatigue on postural control (P<0.05). Conclusion: The VOL fatiguing exercise impaired postural control more significantly than the ES fatiguing exercise. The disturbance of postural control in quadriceps muscle fatigue is related to the nature of the muscle contractions rather than the magnitude of strength loss.

The Effect of Lower Extremity Muscle Fatigue on Dynamic Postural Control Analyzed by Electromyography

Purpose: Postural control preserves organs and body parts in a proper biomechanical stance which exists in two forms: static and dynamic. Fatigue is one of the factors that affects postural control. This study aimed to compare the electromyography (EMG) activity of the lower extremity muscles before and after fatigue. Methods: This study was descriptive correlational and based on the research ...

The effect of plantar flexor muscle fatigue on postural control.

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have demonstrated that ankle muscle fatigue alters postural sway. Our aim was to better understand postural control mechanisms during upright stance following plantar flexor fatigue. METHOD Ten healthy young volunteers, 25.7±2.2 years old, were recruited. Foot center-of-pressure (CoP) displacement data were collected during narrow base upright stance and eyes closed...

The duration effects of lumbar extensor muscle fatigue on postural control in soccer players

Background: The ability to maintain body position in space is called postural control. Muscular fatigue created after doing voluntary repeated contractions impairs postural control. Thus, the present study was conducted to compare the effects of fatigue of the lumbar extensor muscles and duration of these effects on postural sway between soccer player and non-athlete participants. &nbsp;&nbs...

Effect of Fatigue on Force-Matching in the Quadriceps Muscle

1) This study examined the ability of human subjects to match a force in their quadriceps muscle during fatigue. Twenty subjects (mean age: 23.4 yrs, mean height: 167.8 cm, mean weight, 62.6 kg) were enrolled in the experiment. In the force-matching task, the quadriceps muscle generated 50% of the MVIC (maximum voluntary isometric contraction) torque under visual control and then without visual...
