DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2021.105337
Abstract: BACKGROUND Leg stiffness is important during running to increase velocity and maximise efficiency by facilitating use of the stretch-shortening cycle. Children with cerebral palsy who have neuromuscular impairments may have altered leg stiffness. The aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rehab.2018.05.806
Abstract: Introduction/Background Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a training method that exposes the entire body to mechanical oscillations while standing on a vibrating platform. WBV are used by clinicians to improve balance and gait. However, WBV may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/8866340
Abstract: Foot strike patterns influence the running efficiency and may be an injury risk. However, differences in the leg stiffness between runners with habitual forefoot (hFFS) and habitual rearfoot (hRFS) strike patterns remain unclear. This study… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app11104562
Abstract: Impaired motor control and musculotendon tightness in the lower extremities are characteristic features of patients with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Tendon release surgery (TRS) helps improve joint and leg stiffness, but the effects of TRS… read more here.
