Although motor output of the postural function clearly influences postural performance in
young and older subjects, no relationship has been formally established between them …

Vertebrate skeletal muscle is composed of distinct types of fibre that are functionally adapted
through differences in their physiological and metabolic properties. An understanding of the …

Muscle atrophy typically is a direct effect of protein degradation induced by a diversity of
pathophysiologic states such as disuse, immobilization, denervation, aging, sepsis …

Pin-tract infection (PTI) is the most commonly expected problem, or even an almost
inevitable complication, when using external fixation. Left unteated, PTI will progress …

Independently, aging and stroke each have a significant negative impact on skeletal muscle,
but the potential cumulative effects of aging and stroke have not been explored. Optimal …

Sarcopenia is an age-related systemic syndrome with progressive deterioration in skeletal
muscle functions and loss in mass. Although the senescence-accelerated mouse P8 …

Muscle fatigue can influence the various mechanisms that regulate balance. Few studies
have investigated the effects of trunk extensor muscle fatigue on postural control. The …

Abstract Background and Purpose The prevalence of chronic low back pain (CLBP) is
higher in older than in younger adults and is associated with poor postural control and falls …

Sarcopenia, the age‐related decline in muscle function, places a considerable burden on
health‐care systems. While the stereotypic hallmarks of sarcopenia are well characterized …

Background In aging, muscle stiffness is considered as one of the factors associated with the
reduction of force generation capability. There have been inconsistent findings on age …
