Estimation of individual muscle forces during human movement can provide insight into
neural control and tissue loading and can thus contribute to improved diagnosis and …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible existence of systematic differences
between moment-length properties of the rectus femoris muscle of cyclists/speed skaters …

The aim of the present study was to test whether titin is a calcium-dependent spring and
whether it is the source of the passive force enhancement observed in muscle and single fiber …

In contrast to isometric and shortening contractions, many observations made on actively
lengthening muscles cannot be readily explained with the sliding filament and cross-bridge …

… Herzog et al. (2) showed significant differences of selected gait asymmetry variables …
HERZOG, and BM NIGG. Use of force platform variables to quantify the effects of chiropractic manip…

This article reports two studies on how managers can elicit brand-building behavior from
frontline employees. Study 1 examines the mechanisms by which brand-specific transactional …

The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether force platform measurements
can be used to objectively assess short-term effects of spinal manipulation on patients with …

For the past 60 years, muscle contraction had been thought to be governed exclusively by
the contractile filaments, actin, and myosin. This thinking explained most observations for …

For the past half century, the sliding filament-based cross-bridge theory has been the
cornerstone of our understanding of how muscles contract. According to this theory, active force …

Biomechanics is the science that deals with the external and internal forces acting on biological
systems and the effects produced by these forces. Here, we describe the forces exerted …
