Neuromuscular alterations exist with knee osteoarthritis presence and severity despite walking velocity similarities
(Elsevier, 2011)
Background
Neuromuscular strategies during walking in individuals with knee osteoarthritis are being explored for diagnostic information; however, isolating differences to disease progression is difficult given walking ...
Maximal voluntary isometric contraction exercises: A methodological investigation in moderate knee osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2011)
Purpose: The objectives were, (i) to determine whether differences exist in relative activation amplitudes for participants with asymptomatic knees and participants with moderate medial compartment knee osteoarthritis ...
Sit-to-stand transfer mechanics in healthy older adults: A comprehensive investigation of a portable lifting seat device.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Purpose: To evaluate lower extremity mechanics and muscle activation associated with the sit-to-stand transfer using a portable lifting-seat device and to compare these data to an unassisted transfer in healthy young and ...
Is There a Dose Response for Valgus Unloader Brace Usage on Knee Pain, Function, and Muscle Strength?
(2012-03)
Abstract: Hurley ST, Hatfield Murdock GL, Stanish WD, Hubley-Kozey CL. Is there a dose response for valgus unloader brace usage on knee pain, function, and muscle strength? Objective: To examine whether there was a dose ...
Changes in electromyographic activity of trunk muscles within the sub-acute phase for individuals deemed recovered from a low back injury
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
Evidence indicates that previous low back injury (LBI) is a strong predictor for re-injury. The purpose of this study was to examine whether neuromuscular patterns remain altered in a LBI group who were deemed recovered. ...
Hip abductor function in individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis: Implications for medial compartment loading during gait
(Elsevier, 2014)
Background
Hip abductor muscles generate moments of force that control lower extremity frontal plane motion. Strengthening these muscles has been a recent trend in therapeutic intervention studies for knee osteoarthritis. ...
Reliability of surface electromyographic recordings during walking in individuals with knee osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2013)
To determine test–retest reliability of a surface electromyographic protocol designed to measure knee joint muscle activation during walking in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Twenty-one individuals with moderate ...
Temporal Patterns of the Trunk Muscles Remain Altered in a Low Back–Injured Population Despite Subjective Reports of Recovery
(Elsevier, 2014)
Objective
To compare temporal activation patterns from 24 abdominal and lumbar muscles between healthy subjects and those who reported recovery from recent low back injury (LBI).
Design
Cross-sectional comparative ...
Age-related changes in trunk neuromuscular activation patterns during a controlled functional transfer task include amplitude and temporal synergies
(Elsevier, 2014)
While healthy aging is associated with physiological changes that can impair control of trunk motion, few studies examine how spinal muscle responses change with increasing age. This study examined whether older (over 65 ...
Reliability of Principal Components and Discrete Parameters of Knee Angle and Moment Gait Waveforms in Individuals with Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2013)
Gait measures are used to evaluate change in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), but reliability has not been fully established in this population. This study examined test-retest reliability of knee angle and moment ...
