Passive mechanical properties of the musculo-articular complex are classically studied using passive torque-angle curves. However, the mechanical properties of each structure of this musculo-articular complex (e.g., muscle, tendon) cannot be dissociated from this relationship. We recently showed that supersonic shear imaging is able to accurately quantify muscle shear elastic modulus of one mus...

The height of the foot plates (stretchers) in rowing have been shown, both theoretically and experimentally, to significantly influence the effectiveness of the rowing stroke. However, the extent to which increasing this height can improve rowing performance, through musculo-skeletal adaptations, is not yet known. The aims of the present investigation were to determine the influence of a three ...

BACKGROUND: The objective of the study was to compare the prevalence and severity of musculo-skeletal pain between two socioeconomically contrasting areas in Oslo, Norway, and to explore possible explanatory factors. METHODS: Questionnaire survey, carried out as part of The Oslo Health Study in 2000-2001. Data from 821 persons (40 and 45 year old) living in a less affluent inner city area (call...
