There is a lack of evidence about the ways in which balance ability influences kinematic and kinetic parameters muscle activities during gait among healthy individuals. The hypothesis that would be associated with lower limb kinematics, kinetics gait. Twenty-nine volunteers (Age 32.8 ± 9.1; 18 males 11 females) performed Star Excursion Balance test to measure their dynamic walked for at least t...

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate the reliability of surface electromyography (EMG) assessed at seven muscles during three repeated 2000 m rowing ergometer sessions. Methods Twelve male well-trained rowers participated in a measures design, performing sessions interspersed by 3–7 days (S1, S2, S3). Surface electrodes were attached gastrocnemius, biceps femoris, gluteus maximus, e...

PURPOSE This study aimed to identify the lower limb muscle activity based on direction prediction presence or absence and gender during side cutting in healthy college students. METHODS The participants included 14 males females (8 males; 6 females). All ran at full speed for a distance of 12m, side-cutting was carried out 45 degrees randomly indicated fixed direction. Simultaneously, data rega...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether using surface electromyography to assess skeletal muscle fatigue during an isometric exercise has the potential to be clinically useful in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN Double sample comparative study. SETTING Cardiac rehabilitation service in France. PARTICIPANTS Sixteen men with documented CAD and 9 age-matched healthy men. INTERVENT...

INTRODUCTION Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of bone in soft tissues. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings on clinical suspicion of HO in the knee joint of patients hospitalised in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS This was a case series of 11 patients requiring prolonged ventilation in the ICU who had the following...

PURPOSE This study compared the effects of resistance training (RT) and RT with instability (RTI) on neuromuscular and total training volume (TTV) outcomes obtained as part of the Instability Resistance Training Trial in Parkinson's disease. It also used a linear multiple regression (forward stepwise method) to identify the contribution of neuromuscular outcomes to previously published improvem...

Retrospective MR studies of four patients with neurologic symptoms after inhalation of contaminated heroin vapor revealed extensive, typically symmetrical lesions in the white matter of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and midbrain. Selective involvement of the corticospinal tract, the solitary tract, and the lemniscus medialis also has been found.
