Passive and active wrist joint stiffness following eccentric exercise

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise-induced muscle injury on passive and active wrist joint stiffness. Ten male subjects were repeatedly tested over a period of 11 days, once prior to, and four times following a bout of eccentric exercise with the wrist extensor muscles. Static wrist stiffness was measured by applying a 3 degrees ramp and hold displacement of the manipulandum, which stretched the wrist extensor muscles. Wrist extension maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) declin… Show more

“…Stiffness. Several past studies have measured the passive stiffness of the wrist in FE (Axelson and Hagbarth 2001;De Serres and Milner 1991;Gielen and Houk 1984;Leger and Milner 2000), with values generally ranging from ϳ0.5 Nm/rad (Gielen and Houk 1984) to 3 Nm/rad (De Serres and Milner 1991). The passive stiffness in RUD was recently measured to be 1.5 Nm/rad (Rijnveld and Krebs 2007).…”

“…Several studies have measured wrist stiffness in flexion and/or extension (Axelson and Hagbarth 2001;Cornu et al 2003;De Serres and Milner 1991;Gielen and Houk 1984;Halaki et al 2006;Lakie et al 1984;Lehman and Calhoun 1990;Leger and Milner 2000;Milner and Cloutier 1993;Sinkjaer and Hayashi 1989) or radial-ulnar deviation (Rijnveld and Krebs 2007). Although these 1-degree of freedom (DOF) measurements inform us of the dynamics the neuromuscular system must overcome to rotate in pure flexion-extension (FE) or pure radial-ulnar deviation (RUD), the wrist rarely rotates in pure FE or RUD.…”

“…Only male subjects were recruited to reduce the risk of data variability, as previous work had demonstrated a difference in the magnitude and direction of wrist quasistiffness between the male and female sex [14][15][16][17]. Subjects were asked not to participate in any upper-limb exercise in the 24-hours preceding their evaluation session to decrease the risk of reduced wrist range of motion (ROM) due to muscle swelling [11] and muscle thixotropic behavior [23] associated with eccentric wrist exercise. To ensure the study participants were competitive players, their squash skill level was recorded using the United States Squash Rating Algorithm (USSRA) [24].…”

“…The wrist flexor and extensor muscles are composed of approximately 50% type I and 50% type II muscle fibers in young adults aged 17-30 years old [11,40]. Type II muscle fibers appear to be the most affected by aging, with reports of a 15-26% reduction in type IIa and IIb cross-sectional area and a preferential denervation of type II fibers between the age of 20 and 80 years old [41].…”
