Muscle fatigue is an exercise-induced reduction in maximal voluntary muscle force. It may
arise not only because of peripheral changes at the level of the muscle, but also because …

Electromyograms (EMGs) need to be normalized if comparisons are sought between trials
when electrodes are reapplied, as well as between different muscles and individuals. The …

Muscle fatigue encompasses a class of acute effects that impair motor performance. The
mechanisms that can produce fatigue involve all elements of the motor system, from a failure …

using motor imagery in neurologic rehabilitation. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2001; 82: 1133-41 …

The purpose of this review was to examine three issues that limit our understanding of motor
unit physiology:(1) the range and distribution of the innervation ratios in a muscle;(2) the …

Chronic activity patterns, such as strength training, limb immobilization, and aging, produce
marked adaptations in both the muscular and nervous systems. In this brief review, some of …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare four different methods of normalising
the amplitude of electromyograms (EMGs), from the biceps brachii. Five males performed …

The ability to rise from a chair is an important task of daily living that is difficult for many
elderly individuals to perform, and is particularly challenging when performed quickly. It is …

Function can sometimes be restored to patients with movements disabilities via surgical
reconstruction of musculoskeletal structures. Surgical reconstructions, however, often …

Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of patellar
taping on the onset of activity of the vastus medialis obliquus muscle (VMO) and the vastus …
