Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine peak torque(PT),mean power(MP),electromyographic(EMG)amplitude,mechanomyographic(MMG)amplitude,and neuromuscular efficiency from EMG and MMG amplitude(NME_(EMG)and NME_...
Background:For the past 30 years,the hamstring(H)-to-quadriceps(Q)(H:Q)torque ratio has been considered an important index of muscle strength imbalance around the knee joint.The purpose of this systematic review was t...
Purpose Muscle strength and power are important requirements in many sports.The correlation of jumping performance as manifestation of muscle power and squatting one-repetition maximum(1RM)has been shown in several in...
Skeletal muscle stiffness is altered after spinal cord injury(SCI).Assessing muscle stiffness is essential for rehabilitation and pharmaceutical interventions design after SCI.The study used magnetic resonance elastog...

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and the learning effect of an isokinetic trunk flexion-extension protocol designed to simultaneously assess trunk muscle strength and endurance.In addit...
Isokinetic and isometric force measurements involving a dynamometer setup are widely used in training and in muscle assessment. For further understanding of the method, we investigated the activation of key functional...
Purpose To determine the amount of familiarization sessions required by breast cancer survivors to achieve a reliable meas-urement of muscle function assessed using isokinetic dynamometry.Methods Twenty-six breast can...
Background: There is no proven relationship between back pain and trunk muscle strength, researches in this field yielded conflicting results: some found significant weakness of trunk muscles in back pain patients com...
