Tamires Cristina Campos de Almeida ; Tamires Cristina Campos de Almeida ; Vanessa Paes ; Maurício Soares ; Guilherme de Freitas Fonseca ; Maicom Lima ; Júlio Guilherme Silva |Objectives To evaluate the effect of Miofascial Release (MFR) on knee extensors strength, at different duration times of application. Method 51 healthy individuals were randomly assigned to one of three groups (3min, 5min or placebo) in this ran[...]Article
Mahmood Moradi ; Azade Shadmehr ; Thorsten Fischer ; Behrouz Attarbashi Moghaddam ; Mohammad Hossein Ebrahimzade ; Shohre Jalaei |Background The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) is a relatively new manual therapy approach in the field of musculoskeletal physical therapy, but to date no study has been conducted to compare its? effect in comparison with joint mobilization on p[...]Article
Introduction Different muscular activities of the quadriceps components for producing necessary torque may change in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). The aim of the current study, therefore, was to assess the contribution of ea[...]Article
Objectives To compare the bilateral strength characteristics of the wrist flexors, extensors, pronators, and supinators among baseball players. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Laboratory. Participants 30 collegiate baseball player[...]Article
Shahab Alizadeh ; Shahab Alizadeh ; Javad Sarvestan ; Zdeněk Svoboda ; Fatemeh Alaei ; Petr Linduška ; Peyman Aghaie Ataabadi |This study aimed to compare the angle-specific (AS) and non-angle-specific (NAS) hamstring to quadriceps conventional and functional ratios between healthy, hamstring- and ACL-injured elite soccer players. One hundred and eleven players (27.42 +[...]Article
Objectives The primary objective was to compare hip and knee isometric muscle strength between individuals with a first-time acute lateral ankle sprain and controls. A secondary objective was to investigate hip and knee isometric muscle strength[...]Article
Background Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a new technique that has been known to be effective in reducing muscle tightness in athletics. However, little is known about its effect on the range of motion, muscle power, an[...]Article
Katriane Endiel Pereira ; Kauanny Lopes Pereira ; Renata Anddresa Stachelski ; Márcia Rosângela Buzanello Azevedo ; Alberito Rodrigo de Carvalho ; Gladson Ricardo Flor Bertolini ; Gladson Ricardo Flor Bertolini |Background Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) with kiloHertz currents (kHz) is a resource used in rehabilitation for producing muscle contractions with functional objectives, resulting from the optimization of the performance of aspects[...]Article
Background Few studies have reported on the morphometry of the subscapularis muscle using ultrasound imaging (USI); and their reproducibility has not been verified. Objectives This study aimed to clarify the relative and absolute reproducibility[...]Article
Objectives To present a new knee isokinetic assessment procedure linked to noncontact knee injury mechanisms and examine correlations between variables relevant to noncontact knee injury prevention screening (peak torque [PT, Nm], time-to-peak t[...]Article
Ginji Nara ; Ginji Nara ; Mina Samukawa ; Kensuke Oba ; Yuta Koshino ; Tomoya Ishida ; Satoshi Kasahara ; Harukazu Tohyama |Objective To investigate the effects of knee flexion angle on peak torque, rate of torque development (RTD) during isometric contraction and hamstring flexibility after hamstring strain injury (HSI). Design Cross-sectional. Setting Controlled la[...]Article
Introduction: In children, the impact of hearing loss on biomechanical gait parameters is not well understood. Thus, the objectives of this study were to examine three-dimensional lower limb joint torques in deaf compared to age-matched healthy[...]Article
The relation between force production at different hip angles and functional capacity in older women
Josefina Bertoli ; Fernando Diefenthaeler ; Eduardo Lusa Cadore ; Bruno Monteiro de Moura ; Cintia De la Rocha Freitas |Although hip muscles are related to activities of daily living (ADLs) in older adults, there is a lack of evidence concerning the extensor–flexor hip torque–angle. A shift of the torque–angle relationship is caused by the aging process (increasi[...]Article
Kentaro Mikami ; Kentaro Mikami ; Mina Samukawa ; Kensuke Oba ; Kentaro Nakamura ; Yuki Suzumori ; Yuko Ishida ; Hisashi Matsumoto ; Yoshimitsu Aoki ; Tomoya Ishida ; Masanori Yamanaka ; Harukazu Tohyama |Objectives To investigate the knee flexor torque-angle curve after hamstring strain injury using different muscle action types and angular velocities. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Controlled laboratory. Participants Thirteen collegiate athlet[...]Article
Anders Gravholt ; Jon Herskind ; Christoffer Tiedemann Kloster ; Lars G. Hvid ; Kristian Overgaard |Objective To investigate (1) how current and pulse frequency of electrical stimulation (ES) as well as contraction mode (isometric, concentric, and eccentric) influence torque output and discomfort and (2) how familiarization by repeated ES sess[...]
