The aim of this study was to assess the relative torque (a percentage of the maximal capacity
of torque production) at the ankle joint in young and elderly adults during different postural …

A recorded muscular torque at one joint is a resultant torque corresponding to the
participation of both agonist and antagonist muscles. This study aimed to examine the effect …

This study aimed at examining the effects of joint angle and age on the maximal voluntary
contraction (MVC) torque, for the agonist and antagonist muscle groups around the ankle, ie …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the mechanical contribution of ankle
muscles in the upright stance differed among young adults (YA)(n= 10, age:~ 24.3), elderly …

Previous studies have reported a decrease in muscle torque per cross-sectional area in old
age. This investigation aimed at determining the influence of agonists muscle activation and …

The aim of this study was to assess the changes in the postural control (PC) during quiet
stance among elderly men with fatigue induced by moderate exercise, and to assess the …

Previous studies reported a significant association between postural control and lower-limb
strength of several muscle groups, however, they were focused especially on knee muscles …

Purpose Incomplete maturation and aging-induced declines of the neuromuscular system
affect postural control both in children and older adults and lead to high fall rates. Age …

Peak torque (PT), contractional work (CW) and mean power of isokinetic plantar flexions
were measured in unselected, clinically healthy subjects, randomly chosen from the official …

Background Agonist and antagonist muscle co-contractions during motor tasks are greater
in the elderly than in young adults. During normal walking, muscle co-contraction increases …
