Background Preliminary evidence suggests that eccentric strength training (ECC) improves
muscle strength and postural control in individuals with stroke; however, the evidence about …

Objective (s) To determine the effectiveness of eccentric strength training (ECC) in improving
motor functions in people with cerebral palsy (CP). Data Sources A systematic search of …

Impairments on body function, activities of daily living (ADL) and cognition are common after
stroke. Eccentric resistance training (ERT) may be implemented to improve them. The …

BACKGROUND: Many overlapping factors impair motor performance and quality of life in
neurological patients. Eccentric resistance training (ET) has potential benefits for improving …

Background. Impaired voluntary neuromuscular activation of agonist muscles is a primary
determinant of weakness and motor dysfunction following stroke. Objective. To determine …

BACKGROUND: Strength training can increase function in individuals with stroke. However
it is unclear which type of strength training is most effective and feasible. OBJECTIVE: To …

Background: Stroke is one of the major causes of chronic physical disability in the United
Kingdom, typically characterized by unilateral weakness and a loss of muscle power and …

Background Resistance exercise (RE) improves neuromuscular function and physical
performance after stroke. Yet, the effects of RE emphasizing eccentric (ECC; lengthening) …

Background Resistance exercise comprising eccentric (ECC) muscle actions enhances
muscle strength and function to aid stroke patients in conducting daily tasks. The purpose of …

Background: The risk of future injury appears to be influenced by agonist fascicle length
(FL), joint range of motion (ROM) and eccentric strength. Biomechanical observations of the …
