Leg joint power output during progressive resistance FES-LCE cycling in SCI subjects: developing an index of fatigue-3

T force measured at the ergometer pedal. [11] The near constant cadence over the first two resistance levels suggests that the inertial forces of the thigh, shank and foot were responsible for maintaining cadence. Additionally, the decrease in hip power absorption at 1/8kp possibly translated to an increase in RPF. At 2/8kp, the only increase observed was in hip power output. Inertial forces would have decreased due to the decrease in ergometer cadence. The subsequent increase in RPF at this time suggests that the increased muscle forces about the hip are primarily responsible for this change.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Leg joint power output during progressive resistance FES-LCE cycling in SCI subjects: developing an index of fatigue"</p><p>http://www.jneuroengrehab.com/content/5/1/14</p><p>Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation 2008;5():14-14.</p><p>Published online 26 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2396645.</p><p>
