Magnetic stimulation of the femoral nerve has been shown to evoke maximal quadriceps
twitch contraction (TwQmax). Its measurement as a nonvolitional index of muscle strength …

Abstract Background and Purpose. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is used by physical
therapists to improve muscle performance. Optimal forms of stimulation settings are yet to be …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of varying electrode placement on the
torque output of an electrically stimulated involuntary quadriceps femoris muscle contraction …

Introduction: Although it has been shown that voluntary activation (% VA) of the knee
extensors during isometric contractions can be reliably assessed with the interpolated twitch …

This study investigated neuromuscular activations of thigh muscles during concentric cycling
(CON cycling) and eccentric cycling (ECC cycling). Eleven untrained men completed 30 s of …

The purpose of the present study was to examine the patterns of responses for torque,
electromyographic (EMG) amplitude, EMG mean power frequency (MPF) …

A relationship exists between muscles of the lumbar spine and those of the lower extremity
where the quadriceps become more inhibited after lumbar paraspinal. The purpose of this …

Study Design Single group repeated measures design. Objective To determine if the rate of
transition between knee flexion and extension influences the subsequent concentric …

Fatigue is commonly defined as “the failure to maintain the required force”. As such, it may
be argued that the use of electromyographic (EMG) power spectral statistics to monitor …

The purpose of this study was to identify the changes in the force-frequency relationship
(FFR) of the human quadriceps femoris muscle following electrically and voluntarily induced …
