Abstract:

In this thesis we try to model the spatial pattern formed by slow oxidative (SO) fibres in pig muscle. Unlike the other mammals, the muscle fibre pattern in porcine muscle is characterised by cluster of SO fibres dispersed throughout the tissue. The biological interests of modelling such a configuration are, on one hand, its peculiarity, and, on the other hand, the effective contribution of such fibre patterns to the quality of pork meat. Transverse sections of muscle samples are stained to enable discrimination of the fibres of interest. The distribution of the SO clusters is investigated in

Abstract:

Gait initiation is a temporary movement between upright posture and steady-state gait. The activation of several postural muscles has been identified to precede changes observed in vertical reaction force. Previous research examining gait initiation has concentrated on the electromyographic activity of muscles of the lower limbs. Few studies, however, have looked at recruitment patterns of the muscles of the thigh and trunk. This study was conducted to determine the recruitment patterns and the roles of certain muscles of the trail and lead lower limbs and trunk for the duration from quiet sta

Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Besides abnormities within the respiratory system COPD is also associated with effects outside the lungs, so called systemic effects. One systemic effect that has been highlighted is skeletal muscle dysfunction which has also been associated with reduced exercise capacity. Apart from changes in muscle morphology, low levels of physical activity have also been suggested as a plausible mediator of reduced exercise capacity in COPD. The aim of this thesis was to study muscle morphology

Abstract:

Prolonged computer work is associated with high rates of neck and shoulder pain symptoms, and as computers have become increasingly more common, it is becoming critical that we develop sustainable interventions targeting this issue. Static muscle contractions for prolonged periods often occur in the neck/shoulder during computer work and may underlie muscle pain development in spite of rather low relative muscle load levels. Causal mechanisms may include a stereotypical recruitment of low threshold motor units (activating type I muscle fibers), characterized by a lack of temporal as well as sp

For years, the human back has puzzled researchers with the complex behaviors it presents. Principally, the internal forces produced by back muscles have not been determined accurately. Two different approaches have historically been taken to predict muscle forces. The first relies on electromyography (EMG), while the second attempts to predict muscle responses using mathematical models. Three such predictive models are compared here. The models are Sum of Cubed Intensities, Artificial Neural Networks, and Distributed Moment Histogram. These three models were adapted to run using recently

Abstract:

The underlying principles of how the nervous system selects specific muscle activation pattern, among many that produce the same movement, remain unknown. Experimental studies suggest that the nervous system may use fixed groups of muscles, referred to as muscle synergies, to produce functional motor outputs relevant to the task. In contrast, predictions from biomechanical models suggest that minimizing muscular effort may be the criteria how a muscle coordination pattern is organized for muscle synergies. However, both experimental and modeling evidence shows that stability, as well as energe

Abstract:

Stroke causes impairment of the sensory and motor systems; this can lead to difficulties in walking and participation in society. For effective rehabilitation it is important to measure the essential characteristics of impairment and associate these with the nature of disability. Efficient gait requires a complex interplay of muscles. Surface electromyography(sEMG) can be used to measure muscle activity and to observe disruption to this interplay after stroke. Yet, classification of this disruption in stroke patients has not been achieved. It is hypothesised that features identified from the s

Understanding possible variations in muscle activation patterns and its functional implications to movement control is crucial for rehabilitation. Inter-/intra-subject variability is often observed in muscle activity used for performing the same task in both healthy and impaired individuals. However, the extent to which muscle activation patterns can vary under specific neuromuscular conditions and differ in function are still not well understood. Current musculoskeletal modeling approaches using optimization techniques to identify a unique solution cannot adequately address such questions. He

Grasshoppers are able to spontaneously drop, or autotomize, their large metathoracic legs, at the joint between the second and third leg segments.

These muscles are neither damaged nor denervated by the loss of the leg.

Abstract:

Microcirculatory vessels are lined by endothelial cells (ECs) which are surrounded by a single or multiple layer of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Spontaneous and agonist induced spatiotemporal calcium (Ca2+) events are generated in ECs and SMCs, and regulated by complex bi-directional signaling between the two layers which ultimately determines the vessel tone. The contractile state of microcirculatory vessels is an important factor in the determination of vascular resistance, blood flow and blood pressure. This dissertation presents theoretical insights into some of the important and currently
