Abstract:
In the human muscular system, each muscle can regulate its compliance, all of the muscles act in opposition to each other, and certain muscles act on several joints. This mechanism serves for skillful human motions. To realize an improved manipulator, we implemented this mechanism into our manipulator which has a musculo-skeletal mechanism similar to a human forearm. The manipulator is driven by the tendon-driven system where the actions of the tendon-driven system are similar to those of the human muscular system. The manipulator has 2 D.O.F and is driven by three contending wires. In additio

There were studied working conditions and the state of the muscular-skeletal system in employees of the oil industry. Working conditions of employees of basic occupations are referred to the hazard Class 3.1 - 3.3. Significant physical exertion with the predominant load on the lumbar-sacral area, constrained posture, the exposure to the general vibration and adverse weather conditions contribute to the development of diseases of the muscular-skeletal and peripheral nervous system. The most perspective trend in solving problems of diseases of the muscular-skeletal system is the implementation o

Abstract:
The muscular dystrophies or muscle-wasting diseases include a diverse group of genetic disorders, which result in progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles, progressive muscle weakness, and comorbid multi-system involvement. Duchenne muscle dystrophy is the most common type of muscular dystrophy with a reported incidence of 1 in every 3500–6000 male live births in the United States. Given the progressive nature of these disorders, skeletal muscle weakness frequently progresses to loss of the ability to ambulate and perform functions of daily life.

Abstract:
Musculoskeletal system is a complex assembly of tissues which acts as scaffold for the body and enables locomotion. It is often overlooked that different components of this system may biomechanically interact and affect each other. Skeletal dysplasias are diseases predominantly affecting the development of the osseous skeleton. However, in some cases skeletal dysplasia patients are referred to neuromuscular clinics prior to the correct skeletal diagnosis. The muscular complications seen in these cases are usually mild and may stem directly from the muscle defect and/or from the altered interac

This review considers the evolution of studying and modern views of domestic and foreign authors on the role of skeletal muscles in maintaining health and preventing chronic non-infectious diseases. An idea regarding the nervous and reflex influence from the working muscles on both individual organs and the body as a whole is presented. The role of myokines, specific proteins produced by skeletal muscles, capable of influencing the state of many organs and systems, is described.

Physical interaction with tools is ubiquitous in functional activities of daily living. While tool use is considered a hallmark of human behavior, how humans control such physical interactions is still poorly understood.

In this paper, we tested if this notion holds true for motor tasks that involve physical interaction.
