Mechanical Properties of Muscles and Tendons in Asymptomatic Individuals with Generalized Joint Hypermobility

1 Dicembre 2021

SUMMARY Background. The purpose of the present study was to investigate changes in mechanical properties of muscles and tendons in asymptomatic individuals with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH). Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 126 participants aged 19-40 years. The Beighton score was used to determine whether the participants had GJH. An experienced physiotherapist screened … Continued

Impact of the Location of Myometric Measurement Points on Skeletal Muscle Mechanical Properties Outcomes

22 Luglio 2021

By Edra SpA

SUMMARY Background. The aim of this study was to assess to what extent changing the measure- ment point affected the results of myometric parameters describing muscle mechani- cal properties assessed by a MyotonPRO® device in three skeletal muscles: the biceps brachii (BB), tibialis anterior (TA) and rectus femoris (RF). We hypothesised that muscle mechanical properties … Continued

Menstrual Cycle does not Affect the Mechanical Properties of Muscle and Tendon

17 Marzo 2020

By Edra SpA

SUMMARY Background. The evidences suggest that the risk of orthopaedic injury is the highest in the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. The change on mechanical properties of muscle and/or tendon related the higher estrogen concentration in the ovulation phase may be related to the highest risk of orthopaedic injury in ovulation phase. The purpose … Continued
