The double poling (DP) technique in cross-country sit-skiing is primarily considered as an upper-body exercise. The upper limb muscle strength and motion economy are important factors accounting for ...

Ultrasound measurements of the anterior upper leg muscle thickness are often used to quantify muscle mass; however, the ideal normalization approach is unclear. Our primary objective was to examine ...

Background Upper-extremity physical performance tests (PPTs) are frequently employed for athletic screening because they are easily administered in field settings. Knowledge of muscle activity during ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Using a simple set of magnets, MIT researchers have come up with a sophisticated way to monitor muscle movements, which they hope will make it easier for people with amputations to ...

Researchers demonstrated a magnet-based system that can track the location of muscles and could be used to help people control prosthetic limbs and other wearable robotic devices. Using a simple set ...
