Introduction: We developed a computed tomography (CT)-based tool designed for automated segmentation of deltoid muscles, enabling quantification of radiomic features and muscle fatty infiltration. Prior to use in a clinical setting, this machine lear...

Background: Despite the importance of the deltoid to shoulder biomechanics, very few studies have quantified the three-dimensional shape, size, or quality of the deltoid muscle, and no studies have correlated these measurements to clinical outcomes a...

This study aimed to investigate the fatiguing characteristics of muscle-tendon units (MTUs) within skeletal muscles during static isometric contraction tasks. The deltoid was selected as the target muscle and three head-related static isometric contr...

Objectives: Shoulder joint strength and muscle activation during overhead reaching are critical for ergonomic task design, rehabilitation, and exoskeleton support. The objective of this study was to characterize maximum shoulder torque and flexor mus...

Viscosity is a novel parameter, recently introduced in the use of elastographic techniques, correlating to shear-wave dispersion. The purpose of this study was to provide normal reference viscosity values for the peripheral muscles in healthy volunte...

In order to better design handling-assisted exoskeletons, it is necessary to analyze the biomechanics of human hand movements. In this study, Anybody Modeling System (AMS) simulation was used to analyze the movement state of muscles during human hand...

Objectives: The present study compared the amplitude and spatial distribution of muscle excitation between a seated row performed with a fixed scapular position (fixed-SR) and a free scapular position (free-SR) in resistance-trained men, analyzing co...

Oxygen consumption (VO₂) during strength training can be predicted through surface electromyography (sEMG) of local muscles. This research aimed to determine relations between VO₂ and sEMG of upper and lower body muscles to predict VO₂ from sEMG duri...

Background: We aimed to elucidate the quantitative relationship between the neuromuscular blockade depth and intraoperative motor-evoked potential amplitudes. Methods: This prospective, single-arm, open-label, observational study was conducted at a s...

The load scenario within the shoulder joint among its muscle–tendon complexes during fast motions is of interest, as it would allow an evaluation of critical, accident-like motions. To enhance knowledge, a modelling approach was carried out and...

The aim of this study was to determine the muscle load reduction of the upper extremities and lower extremities associated with wearing an exoskeleton, based on analyses of muscle activity (electromyography: EMG) and the AnyBody Modeling System (AMS)...

The cycling literature is filled with reports of electromyography (EMG) analyses for a better understanding of muscle function during cycling. This research is not just limited to performance, as the cyclist’s goal may be rehabilitation, recrea...

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the acute responses of the muscular activity of primary movers during bench press execution under asymmetric loads (25%, 50%, and 75%). Methods: The study included 30 resistance-trained males (n = 25, age = 22....

Brain–Machine Interfaces (BMIs) have attracted much attention in recent decades, mainly for their applications involving severely disabled people. Recently, research has been directed at enhancing the ability of healthy people by connecting the...

Ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections play a critical role in the management of upper limb spasticity. This is the second part of ‘The Elias University Hospital Approach: A Visual Guide to Ultrasound-Guided Botulinum Toxi...

There is a growing application of passive exoskeletons in the industrial sector with the purpose to reduce the incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Nowadays, while many passive shoulder exoskeletons have been developed to suppo...

Some authors use the term cortical–subcortical myoclonus to identify a specific type of myoclonus, which differs from classical cortical myoclonus in that the abnormal neuronal activity spreads between the cortical and subcortical circuits, pro...
