Insight into the magnitude of muscle forces is important in biomechanics research, for
example because muscle forces are the main determinants of joint loading. Unfortunately …

As optical fibers revolutionize the way data is carried in telecommunications, the same is
happening in the world of sensing. Fiber-optic sensors (FOS) rely on the principle of …

The objective of this study was to quantify the coacti vation patterns of the knee flexor and
extensor muscles as part of continued efforts to identify the role of the antagonist muscles in …

One hundred fifty-nine patients were referred to the authors for evaluation of chronic
exertional leg pain from 1978 to 1987. The records of 131 patients were complete and …

The authors conducted a study to determine if the long head of the biceps muscle and its
attachment at the superior glenoid labrum play a role in stability of the shoulder in an …

Extended exposure to microgravity leads to significant musculoskeletal adaptations.
Contractile parameters of four skeletal muscles (biceps brachii–BB, vastus medialis–VM …

Two important goals of ergonomics are the comfort, and the health and safety of workers. In
many ways these are mutually compatible, for where health and safety is jeopardized, the …

The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship between intramuscular pressure
(IMP) and muscle force during isometric muscle contraction of the rabbit tibialis anterior (TA) …

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between biceps brachii hardness
using the transient elastography technique, and its activity level by quantifying the surface …

This prospective, double-blind study was carried out to assess the usefulness of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) as a noninvasive method in the diagnosis of chronic compartment …
