The vastus medialis, otherwise known as the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), is a teardrop-shaped muscle in the front of your thigh that helps extend the knee and stabilize the kneecap. It is one of the ...

Representative muscle activity waveforms. APB, abductor pollicis brevis; ECR, extensor carpi radialis; EDC, extensor digitorum communis; FCU, flexor carpi ulnaris; FDI/SDI/TDI, first/s/third dorsal ...

[1] The mechanism of injury is thought to be forceful extension of a flexed digit. Avulsion of an isolated flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon is rare, and the exact pathology is uncertain.

Tensioning of the graft has been evaluated in conjunction with the effect of the graft source for pulley reconstruction. [24] It was determined that in the range of 0.49 to 1.96 Newtons, the ...

and motor primitives (neurological or mechanical origin of motor synergies), our objective in this paper is to provide some evidence supporting the concept that muscle mechanical impedance might ...
