In its original sense, the term proprioception refers to sensory information arising in our own musculoskeletal system itself [1,2,3,4]. Proprioceptive information informs us about the contractile state and movement of muscles, about muscle force, heaviness, stiffness, viscosity and effort and, thus...
Although the field of ferroptosis research remains in its infancy, the volume of studies on this topic has surged exponentially since its initial characterization by Dixon et al. just over a decade ago. A growing number of evidence indicates that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the onset ...
The function of skeletal muscle relies on the availability of calcium. The SR in skeletal muscle is excellent for the uptake, storage, and regulated release of calcium, serving as the central hub for calcium dynamics [11]. In striated muscle, the primary source of calcium is the intracellular ...
A foot drop is clearly evident and even very mild cases can be easily spotted by a medical professional. Presence of symptoms like changes in gait, weakness in leg muscles, and numbness on the top of the foot and toes and on the shin help in diagnosing foot drop. The following tests may...
This rare condition happens when your nerves keep sending signals that make your muscles move, even though your brain or spinal cord isn’t telling them to. That causes muscle twitches, cramps, and stiffness. It may also make your muscles ripple, like something is moving under your skin. Al...
(tension cost) and a decrease in active fiber stiffness (see Table2). Assessing the observed contractile parameters in terms of the 2-state kinetic model developed by Huxley (1957) one can determine the contribution of changes in cross-bridge cycling kinetics to the contractile dysfunction. ...
Results: Two main sonoelastographic patterns could be distinguished in the controls: one with a clear predominance of the blue channel (hard areas) and the other, more heterogeneous, showing a predominance of the green channel (intermediate stiffness). These patterns were also found in ALS ...

Long-term consequences of chronic inactivation of the soleus muscle during gravitational unloading include a deep loss of muscle stiffness (atonia) [2,10], a change in myosin phenotype (slow-to-fast fiber type transition) (for review see [11]) and a dramatic decrease in ...
