Figure 1: Measuring the contraction of single platelets with AFM. Figure 3: Elasticity and adhesion measurement for contracted platelets. According to our measurements, platelets are two orders of ...

Walking after stroke is often described as requiring excessive muscle co-contraction, yet, evidence that co-contraction is a ubiquitous motor control strategy for this population remains inconclusive.

A concentric contraction is a type of muscle activation that causes tension on your muscle as it shortens. As your muscle shortens, it generates enough force to move an object. This is the most ...

Institute for Human Movement and Medical Sciences, Niigata University of Health and Welfare, Niigata, Japan Introduction: Excessive co-contraction interferes with smooth joint movement. One mechanism ...

Background Muscle function may be impaired in people with generalised hypermobility, yet prior studies have primarily focused on muscles within the extremities. We aimed to examine changes in lateral ...
