Sentence examples for contraction task from inspiring English sources

Mixed design analyses of variance on the Box and Block scores, chronometric reaction times, and force modulation of the sustained muscle contraction task revealed distinct motor recovery improvements for both the 5 and 10 s stimulation duration groups in comparison to the 0 s duration control group.

In the past, ratios of local to global muscle activity were only analysed in specific isolated local muscle contraction tasks (abdominal drawing in manoeuvre) [ 20] and general movement and isometric contraction activities (flexion, extension and lateral flexion from a semiseated position in an apparatus) [ 21].

Root mean square of the difference between target and generated forces during muscle contraction quantified task accuracy.

Here we relate LFP activities to difficulties in maintaining maximal force and in relaxing contraction on task termination in patients with PD.

There were no significant differences between control and stroke Groups nor Groups ∗ Fatigue interactions (within trial or across trials) in the pressure level [p > 0.26], in the OP-EMG amplitude [p > 0.18] or in the median spectral frequency [p > 0.6], excluding fatigue as a source of differences between Groups or between Tasks (contraction with lesioned or non-lesioned hand).

For example, it has been shown that men have a higher muscle strength and aerobic capacity [ 12], exert more torque, work and power during functional work tasks [ 13], and produce less effort and muscle contraction for the same task [ 14], as compared to women.

This study was designed to compare alterations in neuromuscular function after two tasks of similar duration involving the control of (1) torque level fixed at 40% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque (torque task) and (2) EMG level when exerting 40% MVC torque on the knee extensor muscles.

The former is simply the size of the muscle force created by the muscle contraction for a given task.

Also the low level contraction like the work task increased the trapezius muscle blood flux [ 3, 9].

Finally, we are confident that the relative increases in task-related BOLD signal cannot be explained by performance confounds, because we asked participants to exert 30% of their maximum voluntary contraction during the handgrip task and used a subject-specific (non-painful) threshold during peripheral nerve stimulation.

Contraction duration for the EMG task was fixed for each subject to the time to task failure of the torque task (104 ± 20 s).
