Respiratory muscle weakness is observed in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and contributes to hypoxemia, hypercapnia, dyspnoea, nocturnal oxygen desaturation and reduced exercise performance. During ...

The objective of this study was to analyze the electromyographic (EMG) signal behavior of rectus femoris (RF), vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL) and biceps femoris (caput longum) (BFCL) from nine women during ...

Acute muscle weakness (AMW) is a pediatric emergency. During diagnostic approach, it is crucial to obtain a detailed anamnesis, including: onset of weakness, history of associated febrile states, ingestion of toxic ...

Aims: To evaluate the spatio-temporal variables of gait and the isometric muscle strength component of the ankle in patients with peripheral diabetic neuropathy. Also, verify the relationship between these variables and ...
