Morphology of Knee Extension Torque-Time Curves Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Reconstruction Bryant AL et al. - The results suggest that torque smoothness reduces as hamstring activation increases—a positive neuromuscular adaptation that enhances joint stability and, hence, optimizes physical performance. Wavelet-derived measures of extensor torque smoothness may provide valuable clinical information regarding joint function that conventional isokinetic torque measures cannot. [more...]
