Sentence examples for postural role from inspiring English sources

The high percentage of Type I muscle fibres [ 36], the small number of vertebra spanned [ 14] and the low moment generating capacity [ 14] of the cervical multifidus muscles may suggest this muscle has a primarily postural role.

Longissimus dorsi (LD) skeletal muscle, which has both locomotory and postural roles, is one of the largest muscles of the back spanning the entire thoracic and lumbar regions, and contains a mixture of fibre types in the adult state [ 5].

This included deep epaxial and hypaxial muscles that were hypothesised to have a postural stabilising role.

Recent evidence supports a feed-forward postural control role for the transversus abdominus as it relates to limb movement [ 19- 23].

psoas minor varied from approximately equal type I and II fibre type proportions to predominantly type I suggesting a postural stabilising role possibly important in core spinal stability.

multifidi, psoas minor, diaphragm, SCDL and SCDM would have a higher proportion of MHC-I, and would therefore be recognised as having a primarily tonic, postural stabilising role.

Based on this, it has been hypothesised that the function of the epaxial muscles is comparable to that in humans in that these muscles should provide an essential postural stabilising role of the vertebral column during locomotion.

The fibre type distribution of the deep epaxial muscles, mm psoas minor and diaphragm varied from approximately equal MFT-I and II proportions to predominantly MFT-I suggesting a postural stabilising role possibly important in core spinal stability.

This fiber type distribution fits well the role of LDM as a muscle with limited postural function, whilst it is commonly used for short, moderate to intense effort [ 29, 30].

Multiple sclerosis and postural control: the role of spasticity.

A fibre type distribution typical of a predominantly postural stabilising function was found in the diaphragm and SCDM but the rest of the deep epaxial and hypaxial muscles only had approximately equal proportions of MFT I and II indicating dual postural and locomotory roles.
