The protocol consisted of four FES profiles transcutaneously applied to quadriceps femoris muscle via femoral nerve. Each application produced a sustained knee extension greater than 65º up to 2 min ...

The investigation of this study involves, comparing the Electromyogram (EMG) data with the musculoskeletal modeling data to understand the patterns of muscle activation while performing squats. Muscle ...

All 120 subjects were Chinese (72 (60%) were male) with a mean age of 41.4 ± 21.3 years (range 18–76), a mean height of 173 cm, a mean weight of 71.1 kg, and a mean BMI of 24.9 ±4.1. Each ...

This study developed an unpowered knee exoskeleton which used the custom-built spiral spring to convert negative work to assist knee extension during stair descent. The optimization of the function ...

Bland-Altman plot analysis showed good agreement between computed tomography and ultrasonography. Rectus femoris cross-sectional area was significantly correlated with muscle strength (r=0.300, p ...
