Abstract: Recent evidence suggests that deception may not be necessary for placebos to improve clinical outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that placebo and open-label placebo (OLP) treatments would acutely improve strength and voluntary activation, as well… read more here.

DOI: 10.1249/mss.0000000000002897
Abstract: INTRODUCTION The female diaphragm develops less fatigue following high intensity exercise compared to males. Diaphragm fatigability is typically defined as a decrease in transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure (Pdi,TW) and represents the contractile function of the muscle.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0171141
Abstract: The biceps or the posterior deltoid can be transferred to improve elbow extension function for many individuals with C5 or C6 quadriplegia. Maximum strength after elbow reconstruction is variable; the patient’s ability to voluntarily activate… read more here.

DOI: 10.14814/phy2.15575
Abstract: After a bout of isolated inspiratory work, such as inspiratory pressure threshold loading (IPTL), the human diaphragm can exhibit a reversible loss in contractile function, as evidenced by a decrease in transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure (PDI,TW).… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2022.976014
Abstract: After spinal cord injury (SCI), motoneuron death occurs at and around the level of injury which induces changes in function and organization throughout the nervous system, including cortical changes. Muscle affected by SCI may consist… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20064799
Abstract: Voluntary drive of the exercising muscle is usually assessed with the interpolated twitch technique (ITT), using paired supramaximal electrical stimuli. The aim of this study was to directly compare voluntary activation (VA) of the quadriceps… read more here.
