Technological Advances of the Muscular System
The text below explains different treatments to muscle weakness:
Decreased muscle strength is associated with difficulty in performing functional activities such as stooping, crouching, or kneeling (SCK) in older adults, according to an observational study published in the January issue of Physical Therapy, (PTJ) the scientific journal of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). These researchers found that adults with SCK difficulty had significant decreases in adjusted strength measurements of trunk extensor, knee extensor, and ankle flexion muscles. Concluding that measurements of strength predict SCK difficulty, their study sets the stage for research exploring whether rehabilitation programs that focus on training specific muscle groups are effective in improving functional performance and whether improvements in functional performance reduces falls in older adults. Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention and correction of injuries or disorders of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints, and ligaments.
Below are two studies of the muscular system:
Regular scientific meetings in the field of muscle research did not exist before. The name of the Muscle Club was 1988 changed to European Society for Muscle Research (ESMR). The yearly meetings usually attract 200-300 participants.
A multi-institutional team of scientists led by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has found a molecular switch in mice that can convert easily-fatigued "fast-twitch" muscle fibers into the lean, oxygen-fueled "slow-twitch" fibers that enable marathoners to run for hours.
