Bulk movement included in multi-channel mechanomyography: Similarity between mechanomyography of resting muscle and that of contracting muscle
14 May 2012
Takashi Kawamoto, Nobutoshi Yamazaki
Abstract: Although mechanomyography (MMG) reflects local vibrations from contracting muscle fibers, it also includes bulk movement: deformation in global soft tissue around measuring points. To distin...
The effects of exercise on limb proprioceptive signals
14 May 2012
Sylvie Fortier, Fabien A. Basset
Abstract: The definition of proprioception in the literature is equivocal, therefore it is desirable for communication and comprehension purposes that all authors who use proprioception and its relate...
Analytical decomposition can help to interpret ankle joint moment–angle relationship
09 May 2012
Ruoli Wang, Eva W. Broström, Anna-Clara Esbjörnsson, Elena M. Gutierrez-Farewik
Abstract: Moment–angle relationship (dynamic joint stiffness) – the relationship between changes in joint moment and changes in joint angle – is useful for demonstrating interaction of kinematics and ...
