The Effects of Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise on Quadriceps Muscle Biomechanics During Locomotion in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by knee joint deterioration and pain, while also being associated with altered knee joint mechanics and quadriceps strength deficits. Research investigating the effects ...
Proximal vs. Distal Fascicle Behavior within the Biceps Femoris Long Head at Different Muscle Activation Levels
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Hamstring strains have been shown to occur more often in the long head of the biceps femoris (BFLH) than the semitendinosus and semimembranosus, with most injuries occurring in the proximal half of the BFLH. Muscle modeling ...
The relationship between visual steadiness and force steadiness in young and old adults
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Old adults exhibit a decrease in muscle force steadiness and visual capability compared to young adults. Many studies investigating force steadiness have used a visual target as the stimulus for modulating muscle force. ...
