Relationship between upper and lower limbs muscle explosive strength with the v...
Laett,Conrado; Gavilão,Ubiratã; Rio,Jéssica do; Cossich,Victor; Oliveira,Carlos Gomes deABSTRACT We aimed to assess upper and lower limbs explosive strength, and its correlation with biceps brachii (BB) and vastus lateralis (VL) architecture. Absolute and maximum torque normalized rate of torque development (RTD) were measured from isometric elbow flexion (EF) and knee extension (KE). BB and VL architectures were assessed by ultrasound. Absolute RTD of KE was higher (129–272%), although normalized...
Proprioceptive deficit in individuals with unilateral tearing of the anterior c...
Cossich,Victor; Mallrich,Frédéric; Titonelli,Victor; Sousa,Eduardo Branco de; Velasques,Bruna; Salles,José InácioObjective:To ascertain whether the proprioceptive deficit in the sense of joint position continues to be present when patients with a limb presenting a deficient anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are assessed by testing their active reproduction of joint position, in comparison with the contralateral limb.Methods:Twenty patients with unilateral ACL tearing participated in the study. Their active reproduction of ...
Proprioceptive deficit in patients with complete tearing of the anterior crucia...
Godinho,Pedro; Nicoliche,Eduardo; Cossich,Victor; Sousa,Eduardo Branco de; Velasques,Bruna; Salles,José InácioObjective:To investigate the existence of proprioceptive deficits between the injured limb and the uninjured (i.e. contralateral normal) limb, in individuals who suffered complete tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), using a strength reproduction test.Methods:Sixteen patients with complete tearing of the ACL participated in the study. A voluntary maximum isometric strength test was performed, with r...
