    Modulation of H Reflex in Response to Voluntary Contraction of the Homologous Muscle in the Contralateral Limb 

    Motawar, Binal (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Several studies reported that exercising one limb produces gains in motor output in the same muscle of the un-exercised, contralateral limb. This phenomenon is called cross education. There are also data to suggest that ...

    Increased Antagonist Coactivation-Related Hamstring Torque Reduces Maximal Knee Extension Torque in Healthy Old Adults 

    Gomez, Jonathan R. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    As humans age, the ability to produce maximal voluntary torque decreases due to muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and it is also known that advancing age alters the neural control of voluntary movement. One manifestation of the ...

    NEURAL MECHANISMS CONTRIBUTE TO THE AGE RELATED INCREASE IN METABOLIC COST OF GAIT 

    Finch, Adria D. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Aging is associated with biomechanical and physiological changes in several organ systems, including neural changes of voluntary movement. One manifestation of age-related changes in neural control of gait is the increased ...

    POSITIVE VS. NEGATIVE MUSCLE WORK OF NON-LEVEL WALKING IN LEAN AND OBESE ADULTS. 

    McNally, Michael P. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    When walking on non-level surfaces at a constant speed, an individual's total mechanical energy will increase when walking up an incline, and will decrease an equal amount going down a decline. Total muscle work performed ...

    A Comparison of Lean and Obese Gait Characteristics of Children and Adults During Level Walking 

    Herring, Cortney S. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Increased body mass affects gait kinematics and kinetics in adults. It is however unknown if increased body mass produces similar adaptations in children and adults. The duration of obesity in children is shorter than ...

    STRIDE LENGTH MANIPULATION IN YOUNG AND OLD ADULTS DURING LEVEL WALKING 

    Copple, Timothy J. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Physiological and neurological changes with healthy aging cause old adults to alter biomechanical gait strategies. Mechanical plasticity is an ambulatory strategy in which old adults rely on proximal musculature in ...

    Influence of Thigh Muscle Forces on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces during Single-Leg Landing from Three Different Heights 

    Bulluck, Jonathan M. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Over 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur every year amounting to billions of dollars being spent on the ACL annually. While the quadriceps muscle produces an anterior shear force on the tibia that ...
