In this commentary we question whether the relationship between muscle activity and joint moments is the same for natural motor tasks as for controlled experimental situations. An important consideration in this regard is the identification of the correct electromechanical delay (EMD) for comparing EMG and joint moment data. Data from recent cycling studies are used to illustrate the importance of EMD, and how changing task constraints can alter the relation between muscle activity and joint moment balance for bi-articular antagonist pairs.

rate of a second ACL injury. 7 , 8 To prevent ACL reinjury, the knee joint must be stabilized and protected by the passive restraint (ligaments) and the active restraint (muscles). However, deficits in muscle strength, muscle activity, and motor control can be found after ACLR. 9 – 11 Despite the

reported alterations to muscle activity of vastus medialis, rectus femoris (RF), gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior during ATM running in healthy individuals. Furthermore, Mantashloo et al 12 identified differences in gait symmetry index, ground reaction force, and muscle activity between ACL-R and

Finding therapeutic interventions that specifically target these impairments, such as improving lower-extremity movement patterns and muscle activity during pain provoking tasks like squatting and stair ambulation, may improve overall outcomes in rehabilitation.

Blackburn et al 14 found that prone external rotation with horizontal abduction (PER) was the most effective exercise for the infraspinatus muscle, producing 72% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). Ballantyne et al 15 also reported that infraspinatus muscle activity was the highest during

walking while carrying a unilateral handheld weight affects hip and trunk muscle activity, hip, pelvic, and trunk kinematics, and hip joint moments. We hypothesized that walking with a unilateral weight would result in increased muscle activity contralateral to, but not ipsilateral to, the weight. We also
