We investigated alterations in material properties such as elasticity and viscoelasticity of stroke-affected muscles using ultrasound induced shear waves and mechanical models. We used acoustic ...

Spectral parameters such as the mean and the median frequencies have been documented to be reliable outcome variables for the assessment of muscle fatigue. However when recorded for long intervals, ...

Skeletal muscle weakness was related to exercise intolerance, depression, and reduced health status in patients with sarcoidosis, irrespective of age, sex, body weight and height (p⩽0.05). Quadriceps ...

Skeletal muscle force production following repetitive contractions is preferentially reduced when muscle is evaluated with low-frequency stimulation. This selective impairment in force generation is ...
