1. Smooth Muscle Modeling : Activation and contraction of contractile units in smooth muscle
Abstract : .... READ MORE

2. Mechanochemical Modeling of Smooth Muscle Activation
Abstract : Smooth muscle has an important role in several physiological processes, where it regulates the wall tension and the size of hollow organs. In blood vessels, the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle contribute to the mechanical stability of the vessel wall and determines the diameter. READ MORE

3. Post activation potentiation : Modulating factors and mechanisms for muscle performance
Abstract : Introduction: Acute enhancements of muscle contractile properties and performance subsequent to a maximal or near maximal conditioning contraction are often termed post activation potentiation (PAP). Although still controversial, PAP is commonly linked to enhancements in the myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation, leading to improvements in the excitation–contraction coupling. READ MORE

4. Voluntary activation of skeletal muscle in young and old women and men
Abstract : The evaluation of skeletal muscle strength is an important part of the physiotherapist’s clinical examination in order to plan and execute appropriate interventions. This requires the objective assessment of muscle strength and the determination of the underlying factors of muscle weakness. READ MORE

5. Tendon transfer mechanics and donor muscle properties : implications in surgical correction of upper limb muscle imbalance
Abstract : Tendon transfer surgery is used to improve the hand function of patients with nerve injuries, spinal cord lesions, cerebral palsy (CP), stroke, or muscle injuries. The tendon of a muscle, usually with function opposite that of the lost muscle function, is transferred to the tendon of the deficient muscle. READ MORE
