Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in muscle coactivation during postural control between healthy older and young adults.

TL;DR: The older adults showed significantly higher coactivation than the young adults during the tasks of standing, functional reach, functional stability boundary (forward), and gait, suggesting increased muscle coactivation could be a necessary change to compensate for a deterioration in postural control accompanying healthy aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of functional deficits determined by four different hop tests in patients with anterior cruciate ligament deficiency.

TL;DR: The FAT was found to be useful in evaluating lower limb function in ACL-deficient patients and significantly different between males and females in all of the tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute and prolonged effect of static stretching on the passive stiffness of the human gastrocnemius muscle tendon unit in vivo.

TL;DR: Investigation of the acute and prolonged effect of SS on the mechanical properties of the muscle‐tendon unit suggests that 5 min of SS affects MTU and muscle stiffness both immediately and 10”min after SS, which may be associated with a change in the connective tissue properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of age and inactivity due to prolonged bed rest on atrophy of trunk muscles

TL;DR: Age-related atrophy compared with young women was less in the deep antigravity trunk muscles than the superficial muscles in the independent elderly women, and atrophy associated with chronic bed rest was more marked in the antig gravity muscles, such as the back and transversus abdominis.
