DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00821.2018
Abstract: A cognitive challenge when imposed during a low-force isometric contraction will exacerbate sex- and age-related decreases in force steadiness, but the mechanism is not known. We determined the role of oscillations in the common synaptic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00349.2019
Abstract: Elbow flexor force steadiness is less with the forearm pronated (PRO) compared with neutral (NEU) or supinated (SUP), and may relate to neural excitability. Although not tested in a force steadiness paradigm, lower spinal and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12891-018-2015-9
Abstract: BackgroundForce steadiness is a quantitative measure of the ability to control muscle tonus. It is an independent predictor of functional performance and has shown to correlate well with different degrees of motor impairment following stroke.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0272033
Abstract: The effects of mental fatigue have been studied in relation to specific percentages of maximal aerobic or anaerobic efforts, maximal voluntary contractions or the performance of sport specific skills. However, its effects on tremor, dexterity… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci10080471
Abstract: Although plantar flexion force steadiness (FS) is reduced in persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD), the underlying causes are unknown. The aim of this exploratory design study was to ascertain the influence of maximal voluntary contraction… read more here.

Chronic Ankle Instability Impairs Submaximal Force Steadiness and Accuracy.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of athletic training"
DOI: 10.4085/15-20
Abstract: CONTEXT Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have demonstrated sensorimotor impairments. Submaximal force steadiness and accuracy measure sensory, motor, and visual function via a feedback mechanism, which helps researchers and clinicians to comprehend sensorimotor deficits… read more here.
