The world population is ageing rapidly. As society ages, the incidence of physical limitations
is dramatically increasing, which reduces the quality of life and increases healthcare …

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 …

Much is known about the physiological impairments that can cause muscle fatigue. It is
known that fatigue can be caused by many different mechanisms, ranging from the …

Background: Quadriceps strength deficits are observed clinically after anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction and are often not overcome despite rehabilitation …

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

Context: Arthrogenic muscle inhibition is an important underlying factor in persistent
quadriceps muscle weakness after knee injury or surgery. Objective: To determine the …

Background: While total knee arthroplasty reduces pain and provides a functional range of
motion of the knee, quadriceps weakness and reduced functional capacity typically are still …

Muscle atrophy in patients receiving hemodialysis: Effects on muscle strength, muscle
quality, and physical function. Background Dialysis patients are less active and have …

The purpose of this study was to estimate the relative contributions of central and peripheral
factors to the development of human muscle fatigue. Nine healthy subjects [five male, four …

Context: Muscle impairments associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) are the primary
underlying cause of functional limitations. Understanding the extent of muscle impairments …
