Abstract Changes in the neuromuscular system affecting the ageing motor unit manifest
structurally as a reduction in motor unit number secondary to motor neuron loss; fibre type …

Menopause is associated with a natural decline in estrogen, that increases visceral fat mass,
decreases bone mass density, muscle mass, and strength. This review will examine the role …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Sarcopenia is a term utilized to define the loss of muscle mass and strength that occurs with
aging. Sarcopenia is believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of frailty and …

Now in its Third Edition, this book emphasizes the physiological perspective of voice
disorders—and the behavioral and emotional factors that can influence these changes …

Sarcopenia is the progressive generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and
function which occurs as a consequence of aging. With a growing older population, there …

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 …

This report describes an early version of a technique for decomposing surface
electromyographic (sEMG) signals into the constituent motor unit (MU) action potential …

Lipsitz and Goldberger [47] proposed that there is a loss in the complexity of physiological
and behavioral systems with aging and disease. Here, we show that this unidirectional view …

This paper examines the physiological mechanisms responsible for differences in the
amplitude of force fluctuations between young and old adults. Because muscle force is a …
