Muscle strength and, to a greater extent, power inexorably decline with ageing. Quantitative
loss of muscle mass, referred to as “sarcopenia”, is the most important factor underlying this …

The twitch interpolation technique is commonly employed to assess the completeness of
skeletal muscle activation during voluntary contractions. Early applications of twitch …

Background The recovery of quadriceps muscle force and function after total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) is suboptimal, which predisposes patients to disability with increasing …

Background Tourniquet use during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) improves visibility and
reduces intraoperative blood loss. However, tourniquet use may also have a negative …

Muscles and tendons are highly adaptive to changes in chronic loading, though little is
known about the adaptative time course. We tested the hypothesis that, in response to …

Aging is associated with dramatic reductions in muscle strength and motor control, and
many of these agerelated changes in muscle function result from adaptations in the central …

The use of electrical stimulation (ES) can contribute to our knowledge of how our
neuromuscular system can adapt to physical stress or unloading. Although it has been …

Study Design Prospective cohort study with an age-matched and sex-matched control
group. Objectives To assess the clinical outcomes of a high-intensity rehabilitation program …

The aim of the present study was to further confirm the validity of measurements for
characterizing neuromuscular alterations by establishing their reliability both before and …
