Evaluation of antigravitational support levels provided by a passive upper-limb occupational exoskeleton in repetitive arm movements

Upper-limb occupational exoskeletons to support the workers' upper arms are typically designed to provide antigravitational support. Although typical work activities require workers to perform static and dynamic actions, the majority of the studies in lite ...

Cyclo His-Pro Attenuates Muscle Degeneration in Murine Myopathy Models

Johan Auwerx, Xiaoxu Li, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Keno Strotjohann, Alessia De Masi

Among the inherited myopathies, a group of muscular disorders characterized by structural and metabolic impairments in skeletal muscle, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) stands out for its devastating progression. DMD pathogenesis is driven by the progress ...

Understanding motor control and impairment: An upper-limb model for muscular assessment

Tristan Jean Robin Barjavel

The human upper limb is a complex musculoskeletal system that can still perform various tasks with impressive efficacy thanks to the ability of the central nervous system to control and modulate the activation of more than 40 muscles.Stroke is a leading ca ...

Microtubule-mediated GLUT4 trafficking is disrupted in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle

Martinus Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Martin Rainer Wohlwend

Microtubules serve as tracks for long-range intracellular trafficking of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), but the role of this process in skeletal muscle and insulin resistance is unclear. Here, we used fixed and live-cell imaging to study microtubule-based ...

Muscle Activation Variability Is Inversely Correlated with Walking Speed

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Amy Roning Wu, Cole Stewart Simpson, Amandine Grappe

Individuals withmotor impairments typically walk at much slower speeds than their unimpaired counterparts, yet their gait data is still evaluated against the relatively faster gait of healthy subjects. Therefore a good understanding of unimpaired gait at e ...
