Five oriented tasks in manual skills of a baby child with obstetric brachial plexus palsy

Brachial plexus (BP) injury during labor is called obstetric brachial palsy (OBP). It is an abnormality that occurs in the upper extremity of the body due to excessive stretching of the neural roots of the BP. Every motor skill that the child with OPB acquires will be hampered by the deficiency in the mo...

Repetitions to failure increase pectoralis major activation with similar neuromuscular fatigue in trained men

ABSTRACT Resistance training protocols performed to muscle failure (MF) have been employed in an attempt to maximize activation and neuromuscular fatigue. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the surface electromyography amplitude (EMGRMS) and frequency (EMGFREQ) of the pectoralis major betwee...

Effect of contraction velocity in the eccentric phase on rating of perceived exertion

ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to analyze the influence of execution velocity on rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and on volume of repetitions at different velocities. Methods: The sample consisted of 10 male volunteers (23.4 ± 5.4 years old) with at least 6 months of experience in st...

Morphological and biomechanical implications of cuboid facet of the navicular bone in the gait

Int. j. morphol; 37 (4), 2019
The cuboid facet of the navicular bone is an irregular flat surface, present in non-human primates and some human ancestors. In modern humans, it is not always present and it is described as an "occasional finding". To date, there is not enough data about its incidence in ancient and contemporary populat...

Análise das forças de reação do solo durante a marcha de indivíduos sadios com e sem uso de calcanheiras corretivas

Acta fisiátrica; 19 (1), 2012
O pé constitui a base de apoio e propulsão para a marcha. É conhecido que a supinação e a pronação excessiva ou prolongada podem alterar a mecânica da marcha. Assim, o uso de calcanheiras corretivas para o desvio do calcâneo (valgo/varo) tem sido recomendado. Objetivo: Deste estudo foi analisar ...
