Aging leads to a decline in muscle mass and force-generating capacity. Ultrasound shear
wave elastography (SWE) is a non-invasive method to capture age-related muscular …

Skeletal muscles can be voluntary controlled by the somatic nervous system yielding an
active contractile stress response. Thereby, the active muscle stresses are transmitted to the …

Skeletal muscle thickness is a valuable indicator of several aspects of a muscle's functional
capabilities. We used computational analysis of ultrasound images, recorded from 10 …

The purpose of this study is to investigate if a continuous muscle contraction (CON) is more
fatiguing than an intermittent exercise (INT) performed until task failure. To get a more …

This article aims to present some novel experimental approaches and computational
methods providing detailed insights into the mechanical behavior of skeletal muscles …

Intramuscular pressure (IMP) reflects forces produced by a muscle. Age is one of the
determinants of skeletal muscle performance. The present study aimed to test whether IMP …

Experimental observations suggest that the force output of the skeletal muscle tissue can be
correlated to the intra-muscular pressure generated by the muscle belly. However, pressure …

High-density surface EMG (HD-sEMG) is gaining attention because of its non-invasive
nature and high spatial resolution. However, wearable HD-sEMG measurements with over …

The rehabilitation process of patients who suffer from gait disorders caused by neurological
defects such as stroke involves a broad variety of treatment methods. Non-pharmacological …

The onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis and the cartilage degenerative process are
related, among biological and mechanical factors, to the knee contact forces of the medial …
