Journal ArticleDOI
Redundancy or heterogeneity in the electric activity of the biceps brachii muscle? Added value of PCA-processed multi-channel EMG muscle activation estimates in a parallel-fibered muscle
TL;DR: Multi-channel EMG, processed with PCA, substantially improves the quality of muscle activation estimates compared conventional bipolar EMG in BB, which has a relatively simply parallel-fibered architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of unilateral leg muscle fatigue on balance control in perturbed and unperturbed gait in healthy elderly
TL;DR: The healthy elderly subjects were able to cope with substantial ULMF during steady-state gait and demonstrated faster balance recovery after laterally directed mechanical perturbations in the fatigued than in the unfatigued condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precision of estimates of local stability of repetitive trunk movements
TL;DR: Local dynamic stability of trunk movements quantified by means of the maximum Lyapunov exponent (λmax) can provide information on trunk motor control and might offer a measure of trunk control in low-back pain patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of the lateral abdominal muscles during walking

TL;DR: EMG activity of right-sided muscles and 3-dimensional moments during treadmill walking at six different speeds in sixteen healthy young women was clearly coordinated, with co-contraction of antagonists to offset unwanted mechanical side-effects of each individual muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of precision demands during a low intensity pinching task on muscle activation and load sharing of the fingers
Bart Visser,Michiel P. de Looze,DirkJan Veeger,DirkJan Veeger,Marjolein Douwes,L. Groenesteijn,Elsbeth M. de Korte,Jaap H. van Dieën +7 more
TL;DR: Load sharing of the index finger and middle finger was investigated during a pinching task and the effects were most apparent in the muscles responsible for the pinch force, the forearm muscles.
