  3. 2. Leisure and muscular performance in health and disease : a study of 40-64-year-old northern Swedes

    Författare :Björn Gerdle; Kerstin Sjögren; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Leisure; health; skeletal muscle; isokinetics; electromyography; plantar flexion; muscular fatigue;

    Sammanfattning : Categories and frequencies of leisureactivities employed by 156 randomly selected males and females aged 40-44, 50-54, 60-64 were investigated by structured interviews and were related to leisuresatisfaction, to experienced health and socio-economic status. In equal numbers (15) of males and females from each group and in 24 males (60 +_6 years) with intermittent claudication (Cl) isokinetic plantar flexion performance was investigated with registrations of peak torque (PT), contractional work (CW), active range-of-motion (RoM) and integrated electromyograms from all threee triceps surae heads.

  4. 3. Hallux valgus surgery : epidemiological aspects and clinical outcome

    Författare :Carlos Saro; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hallux valgus; Osteotomy; Plantar pressure; Prevalence; Quality of life; Randomized controlled trial; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Hallux valgus is a common condition that accounts for a significant number of visits to foot and ankle specialists. Surgery is the standard treatment but there is insufficient evidence from randomized trials to determine which method of treatment is the most appropriate. LÄS MER

  5. 4. An Investigation of the Influence of Knee Flexion Angle on the Activity of the Triceps Surae Muscles during the Heel-Raise Test

    Författare :Kim Hébert-Losier; S. John Sullivan; Anthony G. Schneiders; José A. García; Univeristy of Otago; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomechanics; Electromyography; Triceps surae; Achilles tendon; Plantar flexion; Heel raise test; Physiotherapy; Rehabilitation; Musculoskeletal; Movement analysis; Muscle endurance; Maximum voluntary isometric contraction;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The heel-raise test (HRT) is used in clinical practice and research to assess the triceps suare (TS) muscles. The test involves repetitive unilateral heel-raises in upright stance. The test is administered with the knee straight for gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and lateralis (GL), and with the knee bent for soleus (SOL). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of unloading and resistance exercise on skeletal muscle function, size and composition in man

    Författare :Björn Alkner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Atrophy; bed rest; confinement; countermeasure; electromyography; human; knee extensors; magnetic resonance imaging; microgravity; muscle function; myosin heavy chains; plantar flexors; resistance exercise; skeletal muscle; spaceflight; strength; training specificity; unloading;

    Sammanfattning : Exposure to microgravity, i.e., spaceflight, causes muscle unloading leading to muscle atrophy and dysfunction. Thus, there is a need for effective countermeasures to combat these effects. LÄS MER
